Background

This project optimizes the use of existing COVID-19 surveillance data to better understand COVID-19 mortality and inform public health response and intervention. The project consists of two epidemiological analyses of PCR-confirmed COVID-19 cases recorded by the Jakarta Health Office during March 2020 to August 2021. The first analysis was a retrospective hospital-based study of the complete epidemiological surveillance data of 4265 patients hospitalised with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 during the first five months of the epidemic in Jakarta, Indonesia. The second analysis was a population-based retrospective cohort study of 705,503 adults and children diagnosed with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 cases in Jakarta, Indonesia, recorded by the DKI Jakarta Health Office, between 2 March 2020 and 31 August 2021.

The primary objectives of this project are:

1. To examine clinical characteristics and factors associated with in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients in Jakarta.
2. To assess individual, community-level and healthcare factors associated with COVID-19-related mortality in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the first two epidemic waves.
