Abstract

KEY MESSAGES

A general practice prediction model based on signs and symptoms of COVID-19 patients reliably predicted hospitalisation.

The model performed well in second-wave data with other dominant variants and changed testing and vaccination policies.

In an emerging pandemic, GP data can be leveraged to develop prognostic models for decision support and to predict hospitalisation rates.
