I originally used this report to try to dispel the myth that those dying of COVID-19 were already “at death’s door”. I’m pleased to see all the other supporting evidence that‘s emerged since then. /1
I’m summarising the report on behalf of @ICS_updates and @COVID19actuary. /2
Social distancing has made a huge difference. @COVID19actuary will estimate how many lives have been saved in an upcoming report. /3
Below age 50, 9-in-12 survive.
Above age 70, 4-in-12 survive.
There are differences in survival outcomes by sex, ethnicity and socioeconomic group (with men, non-whites and more deprived groups more likely to die). /12
So what is multivariate analysis and why is it important? 👇 /13
Multivariate analysis allows us to understand which factors are really associated with worse outcomes. /14
