They're also less likely to survive after not having an ICU admission. This is the most pointless research ever.

It’s not pointless. Both of these things seem to point to them being less likely to obtain medical help sooner rather than later. It can help to direct the government to find out why they aren’t seeking the care they need so they can help get them it.
