| Popis: | Background The potential role of socio-economic status (SES) in COVID-19 remains unknown. The highest excess mortality rate in France linked to COVID-19 is reported in the Seine-Saint-Denis (SSD) district, which is the poorest district of the Greater Paris Area. Our objective was to compare patient characteristics between two districts of Greater Paris and determine whether precarity is a risk factor for severe COVID-19 respiratory disease at hospital admission. We selected patients hospitalized for COVID-19 from three academic hospitals, one located in SSD, and two in the Hauts-de-Seine (HDS) district, a rich district of Greater Paris. All selected patients were prospectively screened on the same day (April 20, 2020). Patients were asked about their SES via a questionnaire and information on smoking habits, comorbidities, and respiratory severity at admission was collected. Results 112 patients were included (58.6% (65/112) men, age: 66.7 ± 16.3 years old, 11.0% (12/109) Africans or Afro-Caribbeans, and 7.7% (8/104) current smokers). COVID-19 was severe in most cases 59.8% (67/112). The distribution of initial severity was similar in both districts, although SSD patients were approximately 10 years younger than HDS patients (61.8 ± 14.0 versus 71.0 ± 17.1 years old, P= 0.002). The proportion of comorbidities was higher in SSD patients, including overweight (29.6 ± 6.08 versus 25.2 ± 5.67, P |
