Details
The COVID-19 Clinical Information Network (CO-CIN) collate clinical information from the health care records of people of all ages admitted to hospital in the UK.
This CO-CIN report aims to identify any difference in survival from COVID-19 associated with age and obesity.
This paper was considered at SAGE 29 on 28 April 2020.
As the reports are dynamic, the data included and analyses change over time and in each report. Particularly for early reports, there may be a risk of misinterpretation – it is important that any potential signals have been confirmed as robust and not taken out of context. A peer reviewed publication is forthcoming which reports summary results between 6 February and 19 April 2020. A preprint is currently available at: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.23.20076042v1.full.pdf.
