Abstract

The purpose of the project is to create a large, unselected biobank for patients who have been hospitalized with COVID-19. The biobank will be used for 1) identifying and comparing established as well as experimental biomarkers for serious illness and death; and 2) building a risk model that includes one or more markers as well as clinical data. The risk model can be used to assess which patients are at risk of serious illness and which patients will require less intensive monitoring, possibly from their homes. The project is a prospective cohort study.
