Comparison of COVID-19 outcomes among shielded and non-shielded populations: A general population cohort study of 1.3 million 2020-09-21 .txt text/plain 4341 272 59 Poisson regression models and population attributable fractions were used to compare COVID-19 outcomes by overall risk category, and individual risk criteria: confirmed infection, hospitalisation, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, population mortality and case-fatality. The moderate risk had intermediate risk of confirmed infection (RR 4.11, 95% CI 3.82-4.42) and population mortality (RR 26.10, 95% CI 20.89-32.60), but had comparable case-fatality (RR 5.13, 95% CI 4.24-6.21) to the shielded, and accounted for a higher proportion of deaths (PAF 75.27% vs 13.38%). After adjustment 1 for sex and deprivation quintile, the risk of laboratory-confirmed infection remained higher in 2 the moderate-risk category and highest in the shielded group (Table 3). Among the moderate-risk category criteria, age ≥70 years and 21 weakened immune system had risks of population mortality (Table 3) and case-fatality (Table 22 5) that were at least as high as the overall shielded group. ./cache/cord-319910-s2e56ety.txt ./txt/cord-319910-s2e56ety.txt
