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.
CO-CIN has provided dynamic reports to SAGE and NERVTAG to highlight ongoing information and evidence about COVID-19 for a large sample of hospitalised UK patients.
This paper was discussed at SAGE meeting 36 on 14 May 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.
