Article Synopsis
- New variants of SARS-CoV-2, changes in public health measures, and decreased immunity in high-risk groups are leading to predictions of increased hospitalizations and intensive care admissions, highlighting a need for effective Early Warning Scores (EWSs) to predict patient complications within 24-48 hours.* -
- The developed COVID-19 Early Warning Score (COEWS) relies on easily accessible laboratory parameters, distinguishing it from existing models like NEWS2, and assesses risk in both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.* -
- The COEWS model incorporates key lab results, transforming predictive coefficients into individual scores that help identify patients at risk of mechanical ventilation or death; its predictive performance shows promising results with a discrimination score of
The aim of this study was to analyze whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine reduces mortality in patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 disease requiring oxygen therapy. A retrospective cohort study, with data from 148 hospitals in both Spain (111 hospitals) and Argentina (37 hospitals), was conducted. We evaluated hospitalized patients for COVID-19 older than 18 years with oxygen requirements.
