cord-346325-grt67p73	Reilev, M.	Characteristics and predictors of hospitalization and death in the first 9,519 cases with a positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 in Denmark: A nationwide cohort	2020-05-26		.txt	text/plain	4655	258	48	Design, Setting, and Participants Nationwide population-based cohort of all 228.677 consecutive Danish individuals tested (positive or negative) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA from the identification of the first COVID-19 case on February 27th, 2020 until April 30th, 2020. In this population-based study of a Danish COVID-19 cohort capturing all individuals with a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 in Denmark, we provide nationwide data on clinical characteristics and predictors of hospitalization and death for all SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive cases identified from February 27 th , 2020 to April 30 th , 2020. In this nationwide cohort of SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive cases and test-negative individuals from the general population in Denmark, we found that older age (e.g., >70 years), male sex, and number of comorbidities were risk factors for hospitalization and death. In this first nationwide population-based study, increasing age, sex, and number and type of comorbidities were closely associated with hospitalization requirement and death in SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive cases.	./cache/cord-346325-grt67p73.txt	./txt/cord-346325-grt67p73.txt
