Abstract Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, government policy and healthcare implementation responses have been guided by reported positivity rates and vaccination rates in the community. The selection bias of these test data questions their validity as measures of the actual viral incidence in the community and as predictors of clinical burden. Publicly available vaccination data are frequently cited as a proxy for population immunity, but this metric ignores the effects of naturally-acquired immunity. The health disparities concerning asymptomatic and symptomatic patients are not yet studied. The proposal develops a valid metric to estimate the true viral incidence and naturally/vaccine-acquired immunity prevalence in the community, examine the health disparities and social inequality, and monitor the epidemic over time as an operational surveillance system. The approach collects routine testing data on SARS-CoV-2 exposure and antibody seropositivity among patients in a hospital system and performs statistical adjustments of sample representation using multilevel regression and poststratification (MRP), which adjusts for measured differences between the sample and population and also yields stable small area estimates. The data collection and analysis procedure can provide information to entire communities with generalizability and focus on burdens within specific demographics, with close attention to vulnerable populations on disparities across health outcomes, social determinants, and behaviors. In particular, the research will yield group-specific estimates of disparities with respect to asymptomatic and symptomatic patients and how these discrepancies may impact the socio-demographically dependent spread of disease and its subsequent treatment. The MRP adjustment will be made publicly accessible via a web interface and promote broad investigations with integrated data sources toward a national study.

抽象的 在整个 COVID-19 大流行期间，政府政策和医疗保健实施对策一直在 以社区报告的阳性率和疫苗接种率为指导，这些测试的选择偏差。 数据质疑它们作为社区实际病毒发病率的衡量标准和作为预测因素的有效性 公开的疫苗接种数据经常被引用作为人群免疫力的代表，但这 指标忽略了自然获得性免疫力的影响。 该提案尚未对有症状的患者进行研究，以制定有效的指标来估计真实的病毒发病率。 以及社区中自然/疫苗获得性免疫力的流行情况，检查健康差异和社会差异 该方法收集数据，并随着时间的推移监控流行病。 医院系统患者 SARS-CoV-2 暴露和抗体血清阳性的常规检测数据 并使用多级回归和后分层对样本表示进行统计调整 （MRP），它根据样本和总体之间的测量差异进行调整，并且还产生稳定的小 数据收集和分析程序可以为整个社区提供信息。 普遍性并关注特定人群的负担，并密切关注弱势群体 该研究将特别针对健康结果、社会决定因素和行为之间的差异进行研究。 对无症状和有症状患者的差异进行特定群体的估计，以及这些差异如何 差异可能会影响疾病的社会人口依赖性传播及其后续治疗。 MRP 调整将通过网络界面公开发布，并促进广泛调查 整合数据源进行全国性研究。
