Factors associated with COVID-19 related hospitalisation, critical care admission and mortality using linked primary and secondary care data
CONCLUSIONS: We confirm that age, sex, ethnicity, obesity, CKD and diabetes are important determinants of risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation or death. For the first time, we also identify people with learning disabilities and multi-morbidity as additional patient cohorts that need to be actively protected during COVID-19 waves.PMID:33942510 | DOI:10.1111/irv.12864
