COVID-19 Infection Survey linked to mortality, England and Wales
Mortality for COVID-19 Infection Survey participants only contains data taken from deaths registration for England and Wales, including date and registered cause(s) of death.
The COVID-19 Infection Survey (CIS) was launched in England in mid-April 2020.
Working with the University of Oxford, University of Manchester, Public Health England, Welcome Trust, IQVIA and the Lighthouse Laboratories at the UK Biocentre Milton Keynes and Glasgow, its aim is to provide information on how many people across the UK have COVID-19 infection at a given point in time, either with or without symptoms, and how many are ever likely to have had the infection.
This dataset contains information on mortality, taken from the national deaths registration data for England and Wales, for CIS participants only.
Deaths information includes date and registered cause(s) of death, attached to CIS IDs. Mortality data have been linked to CIS ID via NHS number, as derived from the linkage of CIS to the Personal Demographic Service (PDS).
CIS IDs in this file will enable users to attach the mortality data to CIS attributes data, which is also available in the Secure Research Service (SRS) for researchers to access. This dataset is subject to caveats around the quality of the linkage of CIS to PDS, and there may be small numbers of false positive links or missed links in the dataset.
All data hosted on the Integrated Data Service (IDS) are de-identified.
