PURPOSE
We compared the prevalence of COVID-19 and related mortality in nursing homes (NHs) in 14 countries until October 2021. We explored the relationship between COVID-19 mortality in NHs with the average size of NHs and with the COVID-19 deaths at a population level.
METHODS
The total number of COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-related deaths in all NHs as well as the total number of NHs and NH beds were provided by representatives of 14 countries. The population level respective figures in each country were provided up to October 2021.
RESULTS
There was a wide variation in prevalence of COVID-19 cases and deaths between countries. We observed a significant correlation between COVID-19 deaths in NHs and that of the total population and between the mean size of NHs and COVID-19 deaths.
CONCLUSION
Side-by-side comparisons between countries allow international sharing of good practice to better enable future pandemic preparedness.
目的
我们比较了截至 2021 年 10 月，14 个国家的养老院（NHs）中 COVID-19 的流行情况和相关死亡率。我们探讨了养老院 COVID-19 死亡率与养老院平均规模以及人群 COVID-19 死亡人数之间的关系。
方法
14 个国家的代表提供了所有 NHs 中的 COVID-19 病例和 COVID-19 相关死亡的总数，以及 NHs 和 NH 床位的总数。截至 2021 年 10 月，每个国家的人口水平数据都提供到了。
结果
各国 COVID-19 病例和死亡的流行率存在很大差异。我们观察到 NHs 的 COVID-19 死亡与总人口的 COVID-19 死亡以及 NHs 的平均规模与 COVID-19 死亡之间存在显著相关性。
结论
国家之间的并列比较允许国际间分享良好的实践经验，以更好地为未来的大流行做好准备。
