Developing a digital phenotype to subdivide adult immunosuppressed COVID-19 outcomes within the English Primary Care Sentinel Network.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adults classified as immunosuppressed have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to the immunocompetent, certain patients are at increased risk of suboptimal vaccine response and adverse health outcomes if infected. However, there has been insufficient work to pinpoint where these risks concentrate within the immunosuppressed spectrum; surveillance efforts typically treat the immunosuppressed as a single entity, leading to wide confidence intervals. A clinically meaningful and computerised medical record (CMR) compatible method to subdivide immunosuppressed COVID-19 data is urgently needed.

Methods

We conducted a rapid scoping review into COVID-19 mortality across UK immunosuppressed categories to assess if differential mortality risk
