Coronavirus: South Asian people are likely to die in the hospital
A large part of the NHS, doctors from Ethnic Minorities
South-Asian People The Most likely to die coronavirus, after he shows into a hospital in the UK, great analysis.
It is the only Ethnic Group at increased risk of death in hospital and is partly due to the high diabetes.
The study is very significant, because he reviewed the data from the four-in-10 of all hospital patients with Covid-19.
The researchers said policy fields, such as the protection of people at work and anyone who gets a vaccine may need to be changed.
Twenty-seven institutions from across the UK, including the universities and the Public Health authorities, as well as 260 hospitals, were involved in the study.
It tells us only what happens when someone is hospitalized, not to catch, whether you prefer The Virus .
It looked almost 35,000 Covid-19 patients at 260 hospitals in the whole of England, Scotland and Wales until The Middle of may.
"South Asians are definitely More likely to die from Covid-19 in the hospital, but we have to have a strong effect in The Black group," Prof Ewen Harrison, of the University of Edinburgh, told The Bbc .
the people of South Asian origin were to die 20% More Than White People . Other Ethnic Minorities have a higher mortality rate.
The study, the largest of its kind in The World , shows:
The study also shows profound Differences in need of hospital care on the basis of ethnic affiliation.
"The South Asian population in the hospital looks completely different for the white population," Prof Harrison said.
He added: "you are 12 years younger on average, That is a massive difference, and you tend not to have dementia, obesity, or lung cancer, but a very high level of diabetes. "
Approximately 40% of South Asian patients had either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, compared with 25% of the white groups.
Diabetes has a Dual Effect , can increase The Risk of infections and damage to The Body , the organs, the survival may impact on The Ability of a coronavirus infection.
This is probably an important factor in the increase of the death rate in people of South Asian ethnicity, but the full picture has Not Yet been revealed.
Other explanations could include poverty, or the subtle genetic Differences That increase The Risk of serious infection, say the researchers.
The results have been published formally in a medical journal.
However, the results were to Say to the British government scientific advisory group - More Than a month ago.
according to The Report , ethnicity can, must now be considered, in addition to age and other health problems, is in deciding who gets a vaccination, if available. The same Problem occurs in the decision, and if Some People need additional protection in the workplace.
"It has to have a far-reaching impact, to fight the heavy That said" Prof Harrison of The Bbc .
"it Should be a different policy for a frontline South Asian Nurse is in a white Nurse , which is really difficult. "
The study showed That all Ethnic Minorities were More likely to need intensive care than people from the white background.
This can partly harder by the disease. However, another factor is White People were older and sicker, so That ventilation in intensive care may be an option.
The Differences were not, however, on access to health care.
The Report showed That all ethnic groups were in a hospital in about the same stage of the Covid-19 suggesting, there is no delay in the aid between the Nations.
the people of Bangladeshi heritage died at twice the rate of White People , while the other black, Asian and Ethnic Minorities , between 10% and 50% higher risk of death had to be. Although, not due to other factors such as occupation, health problems, and obesity.
Vitamin D and heart disease?work is Now available from the Queen Mary University of London has suggested That heart disease and vitamin-D levels do not explain the increased risk of coronavirus in black, Asian and ethnic minority people.
Both had been proposed as possible explanations for the greater risk in some groups.
The researchers used data from the UK Biobank study. It is following people throughout life, including during the pandemic, and with detailed personal and medical information to the people taking part.
He looked at the dead, but was tested positive for The Virus in the hospital.
their study, published in the Journal of Public Health , showed, weight, poverty and crowded dwellings all contributed to a higher chance of The Virus .
researcher Dr. Zahra Raisi-Estabragh and Prof Steffen Petersen told The Bbc : "Even if some of the factors That we examined was important, none of them correctly, the ethnicity Differences . "
consider after taking them, people from Ethnic Minorities 59% were More likely to have positive test than those from a white background, and The Reason is unknown.
Dr. Raisi-Estabragh and Prof Petersen added: "This is a really important question, And One That we need to urgently.
"There are a variety of possible explanations, including the sociological, economic, vocational, and other biological factors such as Differences in genetic susceptibility That must be taken into account. "
