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 paper provides the information and evidence about COVID-19 for a large sample of hospitalised UK patients. It was considered at SAGE 53 on 27 August 2020.
It should be viewed in context: the paper was the best assessment of the evidence at the time of writing. The picture is developing rapidly and, as new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly.
Therefore, some of the information in this paper may have been superseded and the author’s opinion or conclusion may since have developed.
