Abstract
Objective. Assessing the association of COVID-19 incidence among residents of long-term care facilities with different ownership types.
Materials and methods. A retrospective cross-sectional study and a retrospective analytical study of the COVID- 19 incidence among residents of closed long-term care facilities of private and state ownership in the Eastern Administrative District of Moscow during the period of the first rise in the COVID-19 incidence was conducted. 6 acts of sanitary and epidemiological investigation of focus of disease, 288 electronic medical records, issued in the «Department for Registration and Record of Infectious Disease (DRRID)» AIS system, form № 2 of the federal statistical observation «Information on infectious and parasitic diseases» for March–June 2020 were analyzed.
Results. For-profit facility status was associated with higher odds of resident infection (odds ratio 4.791; 95% CI 3.193–7.188; p < 0.05). The reasons included the architectural features of private institutions: the lack of an isolation ward with a gateway and a separate exit, lack of a medical office, the impossibility of dividing floors into «red» and «green» zones, as well as the recruitment of unqualified personnel, a small staff.
Conclusion. Private nursing homes are risk areas, the COVID-19 incidence in such facilities can significantly complicate the epidemic situation.
