背景确定严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染的风险因素可以帮助卫生系统改进检测和筛查策略。本研究的目的是确定与SARS-CoV-2检测阳性相关的人口统计学因素、共病情况和症状。这是退伍军人健康管理局的一项观察性横断面研究，包括2020年2月28日至5月14日期间通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测SARS-CoV-2核酸的人员。统计学特征、诊断的共病状况、记录的症状与SARS-CoV-2检测阳性之间的关系。在88747名受检者中，10131人（11.4%）为SARS-CoV-2 PCR阳性。积极性与年龄较大有关（>= 80 vs = 2000 vs
Background. Identifying risk factors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection could help health systems improve testing and screening strategies. The aim of this study was to identify demographic factors, comorbid conditions, and symptoms independently associated with testing positive for SARS-CoV-2.Methods. This was an observational cross-sectional study at the Veterans Health Administration, including persons tested for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) between 28 February and 14 May 2020. Associations between demographic characteristics, diagnosed comorbid conditions, and documented symptoms with testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 were measured.Results. Of 88 747 persons tested, 10 131 (11.4%) were SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive. Positivity was associated with older age (>= 80 vs = 2000 vs
