Objectives: To develop a risk model to predict 30-day mortality after emergency department treatment for COVID-19.
Material And Methods: Observational retrospective cohort study including 2511 patients with COVID-19 who came to our emergency department between March 1 and April 30, 2020. We analyzed variables with Kaplan Meier survival and Cox regression analyses.
