Sarah H Elsea et al. JAMA network open 2023 3 (3) e235626

Is G6PD deficiency, the most common enzyme deficiency in the world, associated with COVID-19 severity in US veterans? In this cohort study of 24?700 veterans, G6PD deficiency was present in 9.4% of veterans with SARS-CoV-2 infection and was associated with a 1.5-fold increased likelihood of severe outcomes in male veterans less than 65 years of age who self-identified as Black, and a 3.6-fold greater likelihood of severe outcomes in male veterans 65 years of age and older who self-identified as White.
