“…All have well-established associations with numerous health outcomes and mortality, through various pathways such as behaviours, chemical and physical exposures or chronic stress exposures. 3 Moreover, evidence has suggested a link between disadvantaged SEP and increased risk of infectious disease in general 4 5 and immune response. People with disadvantaged SEP should be considered as high-risk populations at the time of any infectious disease outbreak 6 since their social context could affect the occurrence and severity of an infectious disease via several pathways.…”

Disadvantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) is widely associated with disease and mortality, and there is no reason to think this will not be the case for the newly emerged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that has reached a pandemic level. Individuals with a more disadvantaged SEP are more likely to be affected by most of the known risk factors of COVID-19. SEP has been previously established as a potential determinant of infectious diseases in general. We hypothesise that SEP plays an important role in the COVID-19 pandemic either directly or indirectly via occupation, living conditions, health-related behaviours, presence of comorbidities and immune functioning. However, the influence of socioeconomic factors on COVID-19 transmission, severity and outcomes is not yet known and is subject to scrutiny and investigation. Here we briefly review the extent to which SEP has been considered as one of the potential risk factors of COVID-19. From 29 eligible studies that reported the characteristics of patients with COVID-19 and their potential risk factors, only one study reported the occupational position of patients with mild or severe disease. This brief overview of the literature highlights that important socioeconomic characteristics are being overlooked when data are collected. As COVID-19 spreads worldwide, it is crucial to collect and report data on socioeconomic determinants as well as race/ethnicity to identify high-risk populations. A systematic recording of socioeconomic characteristics of patients with COVID-19 will be beneficial to identify most vulnerable groups, to identify how SEP relates to COVID-19 and to develop equitable public health prevention measures, guidelines and interventions.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. It has become a pandemic and an international public emergency. Preliminary evidence shows that as the pandemic spreads throughout the countries, disparities are observed in health outcomes of patients with COVID-19, especially in terms of morbidity and mortality. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analyses will be conducted to measure the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in COVID-19. The target population includes the population of the countries during the pandemic of COVID-19. The exposure is minority ethnicity and low-socioeconomic status. Minority or low-socioeconomic status groups will be compared to the majority or high-socioeconomic status groups. The main outcomes of interests include 1) mortality rate, 2) morbidity rate, 3) deaths among the infected individuals, 4) availability of healthcare resources, 5) accessibility of healthcare resources, 6) time to recovery, 7) complications; and 8) access to testing.Discussion: By quantifying and documenting the existence and extent of the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in COVID-19, we will identify the areas that deserve immediate action to prevent devastating consequences. The results of this systematic review will help policymakers to adopt effective strategies in managing the COVID-19 crisis in a just way not only in the absence of certain treatment and vaccination but also after reaching them as well.

“…Biofilm of S. aureus can form on implanted foreign bodies as prosthetic joints, prosthetic heart valves and intravascular devices serving as an infective focus of SAB 8. Furthermore, S. aureus nasal carriage, surgical procedures, treatment with immunosuppressive drugs (including glucocorticoids) and low-socioeconomic status have been associated with increased risk of SAB4 9–11 whereas treatment with statins and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) have been associated with a decreased risk 12–14…”

Risk factors forStaphylococcus aureusbacteremia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and incidence compared with the general population: protocol for a Danish nationwide observational cohort study

IntroductionStaphylococcus aureusbacteremia (SAB) is an invasive infection with high mortality and morbidity. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased risk of infections due to the disease per se and the use of antirheumatic treatments. Few minor studies have previously investigated risk of SAB in patients with RA and indicated increased risk compared with the general population. This nationwide observational study aims to investigate incidence of and risk factors for SAB in adult patients with RA compared with the general population. The effect of disease characteristics (eg, joint erosions, disease duration and activity), different antirheumatic treatments and smoking on SAB risk will be evaluated.Methods and analysisAll adults (>18 years of age) alive and living in Denmark in 1996–2017 will be identified in The Danish Civil Registration System. Incident patients with RA are identified in the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) and the nationwide rheumatology registry, DANBIO, in which information on, for example, antirheumatic treatments, disease characteristics and smoking is collected prospectively in routine care. Information on comorbidities, invasive procedures and prescribed drugs are identified in the DNPR and in The Register of Medicinal Product Statistics. Socioeconomic status is evaluated in national registers on income and education. Incident cases of first-time SAB are identified in The Danish National SAB Database. All registers are linked on an individual level by unique civil registration numbers. Incidence rates and incidence rate ratios will be analysed using Poisson regression models and the impact of possible risk factors will be evaluated.Ethics and disseminationAll data will be handled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. No ethical approval is necessary in Denmark when handling registry data only. The results will be presented in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology initiative in international peer-reviewed journals and at medical conferences.Trial registration numberNCT03908086.
