Clinical characterization of acute Covid-19 and Post-Covid-19 Conditions 3 months following infection: A cohort study among Indigenous adults and children in the Southwestern United States
Long-term effects of COVID-19 on multiple organ systems have been reported. Indigenous persons experienced disproportionate morbidity and mortality from COVID-19; however, Post-COVID-19 Conditions (PCC) have not been well described in this population. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study among Indigenous persons living in the Navajo Nation or White Mountain Apache Tribal lands in the Southwest United States who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 …
Incidence Rates of Covid-19-Associated Hospitalization and Risk Factors for Severe Disease Among American Indian and Alaska Native Persons in the Southwest USA and Alaska
Characteristics and outcomes of a hospitalized cohort with reduced mortality from Covid-19, White Mountain apache tribal lands, April 1 – July 31, 2020
We observed a cohort of American Indian patients hospitalized secondary to COVID-19 with greater number of comorbidities compared to the general population but with lower mortality rates. We posit that the primary driver of mortality reduction for this population and the hospitalized cohort was a community-based referral program that led to disproportionately lower fatality rates among the oldest persons
Integrated Covid-19 Interventions in a Native American Community: Arizona, December 25, 2021–January 31, 2022
COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Indigenous communities. The Whiteriver Service Unit (WRSU) took an integrated public health–health care system delivery approach in collaboration with the White Mountain Apache Tribe to decrease the case fatality rate (CFR). The WRSU performed daily data analyses identifying risk factors, expeditiously treating and proactively vaccinating people during at-home visits. The WRSU’s CFR was 0.3% lower than Ari…
High-Risk Outreach for Covid-19 Mortality Reduction in an Indigenous Community
Indigenous populations have been disproportionally affected by COVID-19, particularly those in rural and remote locations. Their unique environments and risk factors demand an equally unique public health response. Our rural Native American community experienced one of the highest prevalence outbreaks in the world, and we developed an aggressive management strategy that appears to have had a considerable effect on mortality reduction. The results…
