摘要

Preexisting comorbidities like COPD and smoking history increase SARS-CoV-2 risk, but the impact of homelessness and mental health remains underexplored. This study investigates the correlation between homelessness and COVID-19 hospitalizations in patients with COPD, mental illness, smoking habit, and age using national EHR data from All of Us, including 129,524 patients, 3,547 of whom were homeless. A statistical examination using logistic regression confirmed that homelessness increases hospitalization odds, with 19.83% of homeless COVID-19 patients hospitalized, compared to 15.08% in the general population. SHAP plots, an explainable AI method highlighted significant interactions between homelessness, COPD, smoking, gender, and mental disorders on COVID-19 hospitalizations.
