dc.description.abstractWe conducted a systematic review of the literature to assess the prevalence of COVID-19 and post-COVID condition among individuals with disabilities compared to the general population in the United States for 2020 through June 2024. Through a search of seven academic databases, hand searching of nine health services research and public health journals, and the bibliographies of included manuscripts, we identified nine articles that compared COVID-19 (n=8) or post-COVID condition (n=1) for individuals with disabilities to the general population. Of these, COVID-19 prevalence or the case rate was higher among individuals in 5 of 8 manuscripts and the prevalence of post-COVID condition was higher among individuals with disabilities in the one manuscript that examined post-COVID condition. There was notable heterogeneity by type of disability, disability severity and study setting. Only one of 9 studies examined differences by sociodemographic factors such as race, ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic status. As COVID-19 and post-COVID condition continue to impact the health of individuals, additional research using nationally representative data is warranted.
