Summary

The investigators plan to use all of the information available within their local NHS hospitals Trust to work out what happens to people admitted with both suspected and proven Covid-19 infections. The investigators will use all of the information that they can to provide the most evidence possible to use in their investigation as this will make the results more accurate. This will include information on existing health conditions (e.g. by looking at previous discharge letters, GP summaries), clinical observations recorded in the hospital (e.g. temperature, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen levels) and laboratory measures (e.g. blood markers of infection). The investigators experienced team will then analyse all of this together with information about whether the person has Covid-19 to help work out what any new patients' risk will be. To do this the investigators need to use individual patients' information, however once removed from the hospital records system it will not be identifiable and will be held securely within the hospital at all times. As a result of this work the investigators plan to be able to do two things:

1. When a patient is admitted to hospital with possible or confirmed Covid-19 the investigators will be able to make a highly accurate prediction of what is likely to happen to them (e.g. being admitted to high dependency or intensive care, dying or surviving to discharge) which will help health care professional make decisions about their care.
2. By knowing what is likely to happen to a patient the investigators are able to make informed decisions about how to distribute healthcare resources e.g. which areas are likely to need more ventilators (machines to help with breathing), need for intensive care beds, discharge planning.
