Incidence of nosocomial COVID-19 in patients hospitalized at a large US academic medical center.
Some patients are avoiding essential care for fear of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in hospitals. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of COVID-19 among patients hospitalized at a large US academic medical center in the 12 weeks after the first inpatient case was identified. The investigators concluded that in this cohort study of patients in a large academic medical center with rigorous infection control measures, nosocomial COVID-19 was rare during the height of the pandemic in the region.
