Cohort profile: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 hospitalised patients in Switzerland

CONCLUSION: The surveillance system has been successfully initiated and provides a robust set of data for Switzerland by including about 80% (compared with official statistics) of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 hospitalised patients, with similar age and comorbidity distributions. It adds detailed information on the epidemiology, risk factors and clinical course of these cases and, therefore, is a valuable addition to the existing mandatory reporting.PMID:33638351 | DOI:10.4414/smw.2021.20475
