abstract = {The DECOVID database contains harmonized pseudonymized electronic health record (EHR) data on all adult (≥18 years old) patients presenting to two large, digitally-mature centers in the United Kingdom between 1 January 2020 and 28 February 2021, with fol-low-up until at least 28 March 2021. The database was originally developed to support the COVID-19 response, but is now available via the PIONEER data hub for researchers to ex-plore a wide range of research questions, including exploratory analyses, risk factor as-sessment, prediction modeling, and comparative effectiveness studies. Raw data were ex-tracted from local EHRs and transformed into a standardized form (Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics-Common Data Model version 5.3.1). The database includes 165,420 patients across 256,804 hospital presentations. For these patients, highly granular data are available including patient demographics; and longitudinal vital signs, physiol-ogy, treatments, laboratory findings, clinical diagnoses and outcomes. There are 10,030 patients with COVID-19 included, of whom 1472 died in hospital.},
