TL;DR: A range of clinical factors associated with COVID-19-related death is quantified in one of the largest cohort studies on this topic so far and includes people of white ethnicity, Black and South Asian people were at higher risk, even after adjustment for other factors.

Evans,Peter Inglesby,Jonathan Cockburn,Helen Mcdonald,Brian MacKenna,Laurie A. Tomlinson,Ian J. Douglas,Christopher T Rentsch,Rohini Mathur,Angel Wong,Richard Grieve,David G.

TL;DR: People from Asian and black groups are at markedly increased risk of in-hospital death from COVID-19, and contrary to some prior speculation this is only partially attributable to pre-existing clinical risk factors or deprivation; further research into the drivers of this association is therefore urgently required.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, an observational cohort study of adults (aged ≥18 years) registered with primary care practices in England for whom electronic health records were available through the OpenSAFELY platform, and who had at least 1 year of continuous registration at the start of each study period (Feb 1 to Aug 3, 2020 [wave 1], and Sept 1 to Dec 31, 2020[wave 2]).
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of COVID-19-related death among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma prescribed inhaled corticosteroids: an observational cohort study using the OpenSAFELY platform.
Anna Schultze,Alex J Walker,Brian MacKenna,Caroline E Morton,Krishnan Bhaskaran,Jeremy P Brown,Christopher T Rentsch,Elizabeth Williamson,Henry Drysdale,Richard Croker,Seb Bacon,William J Hulme,Christopher M. Bates,Helen J Curtis,Amir Mehrkar,David M. Evans,Peter Inglesby,Jonathan Cockburn,Helen Mcdonald,Laurie A. Tomlinson,Rohini Mathur,Kevin Wing,Angel Y S Wong,Harriet Forbes,John Parry,Frank Hester,Sam Harper,Stephen J. W. Evans,Jennifer K Quint,Liam Smeeth,Ian J. Douglas,Ben Goldacre +31 more
TL;DR: The results do not support a major role for regular ICS use in protecting against COVID-19-related death among people with asthma or COPD, and the apparent harmful association observed can be plausibly explained by unmeasured confounding due to disease severity.

TL;DR: In this paper , the frequency of, and risk factors for, long COVID are unclear among community-based individuals with a history of COVID-19, and the burden and possible causes of long-COVID in the community are investigated.
