Characteristics of U.S. Nursing Homes with COVID‐19 Cases	2020-06-02		.txt	text/plain	1225	85	54	OBJECTIVE: To examine the characteristics of nursing homes with documented COVID‐19 cases in 30 states reporting individual facilities affected. Larger facility size, urban location, greater percentage of African American residents, non‐chain status, and state were significantly (p<0.05) related to increased probability of having a COVID‐19 case. CONCLUSIONS: COVID‐19 cases in nursing homes are related to facility location and size and not traditional quality metrics such as star rating and prior infection control citations. Larger facility size, urban location, greater percentage of African American residents, non-chain status, and state were significantly (p<0.05) related to probability of having a COVID-19 case. Our finding that facilities with a high percentage of African American residents are more likely to have COVID-19 cases echoes disparities in the pandemic at large and indicates a critical health disparity to be addressed in the response to COVID-19 nursing home outbreaks.
