Post-publications supplement to Williamson, E.J., Walker, A.J., Bhaskaran, K. et al. OpenSAFELY: factors associated with COVID-19 death in 17 million patients. Nature (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2521-4

August 2020. In the above paper, working on behalf of NHS England, we estimated associations between a wide range of individual-level factors including demographics and comorbidities, and risk of COVID-19 death, but we did not explore interactions between variables. It is plausible that associations may depend on age, and evaluating this would inform more accurate risk prediction. The purpose of this supplement is therefore to present associations between individual-level factors and COVID-19 death,stratified by age group.
