Ashley Kieran Clift, MA, MBBS, of the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford, and colleagues identified adults from QResearch electronic health record databases, which included national SARS-CoV-2 testing, hospital statistics, ICU admissions and mortality registers from Jan. 24, 2020, to July 7, 2021.
