Case Fatalities in Hospitalised COVID-19 Patients in the UK: An ISARIC Study

This study will investigate how the case fatality in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 has changed throughout the pandemic. It will also explore possible mechanisms that could be driving these changes. This analysis will enhance our understanding of the virus, which will be important for researchers and clinicians to respond appropriately.
