HUFA researchers have found an increased risk of Covid-19 in the population residing in Alcorcón originating from sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America in general

 

The study has been possible thanks to the availability of the Selene® electronic medical record, the Alcorcón City Council population census and the intense work of Information Systems and the Research Unit.

The complete study is available in the repository of health scientific pre-publications medRxiv (link) and is in the evaluation phase for final publication in a scientific journal. Carlos Guijarro and María Velasco, professors of the Department of Medical Specialties and Preventive Medicine of our faculty, collaborate in the article.
