- A systematic review was conducted to assess the reporting of ethnicity in relation to COVID-19 and its impact on clinical outcomes between December 2019 and May 2020.
- Out of 207 reviewed articles, only a few reported ethnicity, with mixed findings: some showed no association with mortality, while others indicated that Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups faced higher risks of infection and worse outcomes compared to White patients.
- The review highlights a lack of comprehensive data on ethnicity and COVID-19 in medical literature, emphasizing the need for further investigation into the disparities affecting BAME individuals during the pandemic.
