Developing models that predict poor clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients

Using basic information on 380,081 patients in the Basque Autonomous Community infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, collaboration between mathematicians from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and medical staff from the Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital has led to the proposal of a set of risk scales that are very easy to calculate, have a high predictive capacity and also function with the omicron variant. These scales may be of use in primary care, emergency departments and hospital admissions.
