Data on COVID-19 outcomes in Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are lacking. We analyzed data from 6,244 patients from the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium, including 6.0% AAPI patients, to examine disparities in outcomes following acute COVID-19. Despite AAPI patients having lower median BMI than non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients and higher diabetes rates, both groups showed similar 30-day mortality and COVID-19 outcomes. In multivariable analyses, morbid obesity (BMI >35 kg/m2) in AAPI patients was associated with significantly higher 30-day mortality (OR 4.96; 95% CI 1.78 - 13.88) and COVID-19 severity (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.26 - 5.35); underscoring the differential impact of obesity in AAPI patients.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
