Fig. 3

Exploration of the heterogeneity in hospitalisation incidence. The measure of hospitalisation incidence (HI) is computed as the cumulative number of new hospitalisations per 100,000 inhabitants for a given hospital catchment area (HCA) and a given time period. A Association between HI values of the second and first epidemic waves. B Association between HI values of the second epidemic wave and the difference between HI values of the second and first epidemic waves. C Association between HI values computed for the entire epidemic period (01/03–30/11/20) and the ratio between nursing home (NH) beds and population count in each HCA. Dot sizes are proportional to HI values computed for the entire epidemic period under consideration (01/03–30/11/20); R2 and “cor” refer to the coefficient of determination and the Spearman (rank) correlation
