Design description
Data were collected from all adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with a functioning kidney allograft or on maintenance dialysis treatment who are diagnosed with COVID-19. The primary outcome of the study was vital status at day 28 after diagnosis. ERACODA contains granular data on a large set of patient characteristics (including demographics, primary kidney disease, comorbidities, clinical frailty score, and medication use) and COVID-19 characteristics (including symptoms, vital signs, and laboratory test results). In addition, quality of life related outcome measures were collected. Physicians were asked whether their patients have reached their pre-COVID-19 functional and mental status 3 months after initial presentation. If this is not the case, further questions address the expected recovery and potential factors limiting recovery. The data collection was stopped by March 1st, 2022.

Other inclusion criteria
Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with a functioning kidney allograft or on maintenance dialysis treatment who are diagnosed with COVID-19. The COVID-19 diagnosis needed to be based on a positive result on a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay of nasal or pharyngeal swab specimens, and/or compatible findings on a computer tomography (CT) scan or chest X-ray of the lungs. Data from both outpatient and hospitalized patients were collected.
