A summary of the baseline population by sex, age group (as of 23 February) and deprivation used the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation(SIMD) 18 and Scottish Government Urban Rural Classification. 19 SIMD is a measure of deprivation built on seven domains and is unique to Scotland, with lower quintiles representing the most deprived areas. 18These primary care records are linked to other data sources from out-of-hours, emergency and secondary care. There are additional linkages to other datasets such as laboratory testing data, registration and mortality data, selfreported data and enhanced surveillance data such as the COVID-19 Clinical Information Network (CO-CIN). This is done using the Community Health Index (CHI), the unique identifier provided by NHS Scotland. It is allocated to all residents in Scotland registered with a GP and to all patients who receive care in Scotland, even if they are non-Scottish residents. 10 Summaries of these data sources are given in Table 2, with a data flow diagram on how they are linked together in Figure 2.
