Data from CMS, excluding Green House/small NH organizations.

Small house NHs are typically clustered into organizations which also include the original founding NH (referred to as the “legacy” NH); together, these NHs hold a single license. All such organizations were omitted from the comparison NHs.

P value calculated using log-rank test.

§

Number of suspected or laboratory positive resident deaths from COVID-19 divided by number of laboratory positive resident cases of COVID-19 times 100.
