Sumario:To date, there have been limited publications examining the characteristics of psychiatric patients with COVID-19 in an inpatient setting. In this retrospective cohort review, we attempted to categorize the differences between patients admitted to the COVID unit versus the non-COVID unit using data from a community hospital located on Long Island, NY. We found that patients admitted to the COVID-19 unit had on average longer lengths of stay, were more likely to belong to non-white racial groups, and were less likely to be smokers.
