Data are for patients who were discharged after COVID-19 between February 1 and December 31, 2020 in France. The 2011-2020 French National Patient Registry was used to indentiy underlying conditions before COVID-19. Mild liver disease was chronic liver disease without cirrhosis. Advanced cirrhosis was cirrhosis with ascites, hypertensive bleeding, non-obstructive jaundice, or encephalopathy. The Charlson comorbodity index predicts 10-year survival in patients with multiple comorbidities, and ranges from 0 to 30, without entering age and liver disease, with higher scores indicating higher frailty.
