Abstract
Among approximately 4.6 million members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, we examined associations of severe COVID‐19 with demographic factors and comorbidities. As of July 23, 2021, 16 182 had been hospitalized, 2416 admitted to an ICU, and 1525 died due to COVID‐19. Age was strongly associated with hospitalization, ICU admission, and death. Black persons and Hispanic ethnicity had higher risk of death compared with Whites. Among the comorbidities examined, Alzheimer's disease was associated with the highest risk for hospitalization (aHR 3.19, CI: 2.88–3.52) and death (aHR 4.04, CI: 3.32–4.91). Parkinson's disease had the second highest risk of death (aHR = 2.07, CI: 1.50–2.87).
