How do comorbidities influence COVID outcomes? In this episode Dr. Susan Gaeta MD, FACP, Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center, will discuss the challenges posed by co-morbidities, particularly for low-income and low-resourced populations such as migrants and immigrants. Clinicians will learn about strategies for screening, prevention, and treatment of patients with COVID and underlying co-morbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, some cancers, asthma, and other conditions. They will also learn as how the prioritization of preventative measures, vaccination, early treatment, and other strategies can impact health outcomes for patients with underlying co-morbidities and the needs of members of special populations.
