Article Synopsis
- Many existing mortality risk scores for COVID-19 patients have high bias, prompting the need for a more reliable evaluation tool.
- A new prediction model was developed using data from nearly 4,000 COVID-19 patients, identifying seven key variables that indicate in-hospital mortality risk.
- This model showed strong accuracy in predicting outcomes and is accessible through an online calculator for healthcare professionals.*
