The global pandemic of COVID-19 is colliding with the epidemic of opioid use disorders (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD) in the United States (US). Currently, there is limited data on risks, disparity, and outcomes for COVID-19 in individuals suffering from SUD. This is a retrospective case-control study of electronic health records (EHRs) data of 73,099,850 unique patients, of whom 12,030 had a diagnosis of COVID-19. Patients with a recent diagnosis of SUD (within past year) were at significantly increased risk for COVID-19 (adjusted odds ratio or AOR=8.699 [8.411–8.997], P<10−30), an effect that was strongest for individuals with OUD (AOR=10.244 [9.107–11.524], P<10−30), followed by individuals with tobacco use disorder (TUD) (AOR=8.222 ([7.925–8.530], P<10−30). Compared to patients without SUD, patients with SUD had significantly higher prevalence of chronic kidney, liver, lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity and cancer. Among patients with recent diagnosis of SUD, African Americans had significantly higher risk of COVID-19 than Caucasians (AOR=2.173 [2.01–2.349], P<10−30), with strongest effect for OUD (AOR=4.162 [3.13–5.533], P<10−25). COVID-19 patients with SUD had significantly worse outcomes (death: 9.6%, hospitalization: 41.0%) than general COVID-19 patients (death: 6.6%, hospitalization: 30.1%) and African Americans with COVID-19 and SUD had worse outcomes (death: 13.0%, hospitalization: 50.7%) than Caucasians (death: 8.6%, hospitalization: 35.2%). These findings identify individuals with SUD, especially individuals with OUD and African Americans, as having increased risk for COVID-19 and its adverse outcomes, highlighting the need to screen and treat individuals with SUD as part of the strategy to control the pandemic while ensuring no disparities in access to healthcare support.

Should Asymptomatic And Low-Risk Individuals Be Tested For Sars-Cov-2?, Ashwini R. Sehgal
Faculty Scholarship
Because people with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections are an important source of transmission, widespread testing has the potential to identify and isolate such individuals, quarantine their contacts, and prevent further spread. However, testing for a condition in a group with low disease prevalence may lead to numerous false positive results. This study quantifies the tradeoff between reducing transmission by true positives and unnecessary isolation and quarantine due to false positives.

Management Of Patients With Cerebellar Ataxia During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Aasef G. Shaikh
Faculty Scholarship
The current worldwide severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought some medical systems to the brink of collapse. This crisis is also negatively impacting the care of patients with non-COVID-19 conditions, including those with cerebellar ataxia (CA). Older patients with CA and those with immune-mediated ataxias on immunosuppressive medication are potentially at high risk of developing serious complications of the infection, although it is also possible that immunosuppressive agents may provide a defense against cytokine storm. This has implications for even greater attention to preventing contracting the disease through physical distancing …
