Staffing Levels and COVID‐19 Cases and Outbreaks in US Nursing Homes 2020-08-08 .txt text/plain 2567 153 56 We use logistic regressions to examine the associations of staffing levels from Nursing Home Compare with the outcomes of any COVID‐19 cases and, conditional on at least one case, an outbreak (defined as confirmed cases / certified beds greater than 10% or total confirmed and suspected cases / beds greater than 20% or greater than 10 deaths). However, among facilities with at least one case, higher nurse aide and total nursing hours are associated with a lower probability of experiencing an outbreak and with fewer deaths. For example, whereas staffing levels are unrelated to the probability of having at least one case or even increase that probability, perhaps by increasing traffic in and out of the facility, higher NA and total nursing hours are associated with lower probability of a larger outbreak and fewer deaths. ./cache/cord-322525-22bt6zv8.txt ./txt/cord-322525-22bt6zv8.txt
