Mortality rates among patients hospitalized with COVID-19. A. Age distribution of the proportion of deaths among individuals with DS (combined data from the T21RS and ISARIC4C surveys), who were hospitalized with COVID-19, in comparison to hospitalized cases of COVID-19 from the general population (combined data from the UK ISARIC4C survey (patients without DS), NYC [25] and Spain [24]). B., C. and D. Mortality rates among hospitalized individuals. Hospitalized individuals with Down syndrome from the UK ISARIC4C and the T21RS surveys are compared to matched individuals without Down syndrome (controls) from the ISARIC4C survey. The 100 individuals with Down syndrome reported through the UK ISARIC4C survey were matched to 400 individuals without Down syndrome (controls) from the same survey (matching 1:4) as well as to 100 individuals with Down syndrome from the T21RS survey (matching 1:1). As samples were matched based on age, gender and ethnicity, mortality rates are corrected for these characteristics (see supplementary tables S2 and S3 for more information on the matched samples). We had information on the outcome of disease in 91/100 individuals from the matched T21RS dataset. B. All matched individuals. C. Matched individuals younger than 40 years of age. D. Matched individuals 40 years of age or older.
