description OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review was to identify the health impact of COVID-19 on mortality, morbidity, hospital admission, and hospital readmission rates in the Black population across Canada. METHODS: A comprehensive search strategy consisting of relevant subject headings and keywords was executed in five databases: OVID Medline, OVID Embase, EBSCO CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and Scopus. Additional searches were conducted for gray literature in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Google Scholar, and an advanced customized Google search for Canadian government documents. All eligible studies included in this review underwent quality assessment. RESULTS: Clinical health outcomes identified included mortality, morbidity, and hospital admission rates; none of the studies reported hospital readmission rates. The search identified 616 citations, and following the removal of duplicates and screening according to our inclusion/exclusion criteria, four articles were eligible for inclusion in the review. All of these studies were conducted in Canada. Study dates ranged from 2020 to 2021. CONCLUSION: A systematic review of studies on the impact of COVID-19 on the Black population in Canada highlights two key points. First, the collection and availability of race-based data are necessary to clarify the impact of COVID-19 and other diseases on Black populations in Canada. Second, with the limited available data, studies suggest that COVID-19 disproportionately impacts Black populations in Canada, making up high shares of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations compared to most of the population. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.17269/s41997-022-00725-6.
