Compared to inferences based on the official line list, publicly-available line lists were able to provide generally similar inferences on descriptive epidemiology and transmissibility with little time-lag, but less accurate estimates of severity because of the lack of publicly-available information on discharge dates for recovered cases. Our findings highlight the potential value in constructing a minimum dataset with standardized format and definition, and regular updates of patient status.
