Abstract

This study investigates trends in mortality and length of stay for people hospitalised with COVID-19 in England until September 2021. It shows that risks were higher for unvaccinated people and those with multiple comorbidities, and that busier hospitals had higher mortality rates at the start of the pandemic but this effect lessened over time.
