Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: With respect to the analysis of post-discharge COVID monitoring services our study is currently unique in its scope. We have made use of a national administrative hospital dataset, and have analysed almost 140,000 COVID-19 admissions in an effort to detect an impact of a national-scale roll out of post-discharge remote monitoring services. We have been pragmatic in our use of the available data, and have controlled for characteristics available to us. Nevertheless, there are several limitations which mean that our results should be interpreted with caution. We did not know which patients were enrolled onto a CVW, and so treated all patients as potentially having received the intervention where one was available at a hospital trust. We had no information about important clinical factors, for example: ICU admission, clinical readings (including oxygen saturation levels), and specific treatments received. The location to which patients were discharged (home, care home, and so on) was not known, and we also had no information about out-of-hospital deaths (and this during a period in which rates of out-of-hospital deaths had been persistently above long-term norms)39. We extracted data only on patients discharged alive, and so the impact (if any) of COVID-19 patients who died during their hospital stay has not been accounted for. Our analyses have assumed that these factors – which are likely to have been associated to a greater or lesser degree with eli...
