Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; IgG, immunoglobulin G; IQR, interquartile range; OR, odds ratio; ref, reference group; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

aSignificance was determined using the Wald χ2 test for direct differences between a variable level relative to the reference level of the same variable, with P < .05 considered significant.

bAt least one category count for this level of race was 0, inhibiting the calculating of ORs.

cClinical role was categorized as COVID-19–clinical (participants working in a clinical capacity on COVID-19–designated units), clinical (participants working in a clinical capacity on non–COVID-19–designated units), or nonclinical (participants in nonclinical roles such as administration and hospital support staff).
