AB - BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is a multisystem disease and patients who survive might have in-hospital complications. These complications are likely to have important short-term and long-term consequences for patients, health-care utilisation, health-care system preparedness, and society amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim was to characterise the extent and effect of COVID-19 complications, particularly in those who survive, using the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections Consortium WHO Clinical Characterisation Protocol UK. METHODS: We did a prospective, multicentre cohort study in 302 UK health-care facilities. Adult patients aged 19 years or older, with confirmed or highly suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection leading to COVID-19 were included in the study. The primary outcome of this study was the incidence of in-hospital complications, defined as organ-specific diagnoses occurring alone or in addition to any hallmarks of COVID-19 illness. We used multilevel logistic regression and survival models to explore associations between these outcomes and in-hospital complications, age, and pre-existing comorbidities. FINDINGS: Between Jan 17 and Aug 4, 2020, 80388 patients were included in the study. Of the patients admitted to hospital for management of COVID-19, 49·7% (36367 of 73197) had at least one complication. The mean age of our cohort was 71·1 years (SD 18·7), with 56·0% (41025 of 73197) being male and 81·0% (59289 of 73197) having at least one comorbidity. Males and those aged older than 60 years were most likely to have a complication (aged ≥60 years: 54·5% [16579 of 30416] in males and 48·2% [11707 of 24288] in females; aged <60 years: 48·8% [5179 of 10609] in males and 36·6% [2814 of 7689] in females). Renal (24·3%, 17752 of 73197), complex respiratory (18·4%, 13486 of 73197), and systemic (16·3%, 11895 of 73197) complications were
