Inequalities in COVID-19 severe morbidity and mortality by country of birth in Sweden
M. Rostila, A. Cederström, et al.
This comprehensive cohort study, involving over 7.8 million adults in Sweden, reveals important disparities in COVID-19 ICU admissions and mortality linked to country of birth. Notably, migrants from various global regions faced higher risks compared to Swedish-born individuals, despite a decrease in inequalities over time. The research, conducted by Mikael Rostila and colleagues, emphasizes the critical role of socioeconomic factors and the positive impact of vaccination campaigns in lessening these disparities.
