Abstract

We developed a score, with easily accessible data (age, sex, body mass index, dyspnea, inflammatory parameters), to predict the risk of rapid progression to severe coronavirus disease 2019. Using a cutoff of >6 points, the negative predictive value was 87%.

Keywords: C-reactive protein; COVID-19; body mass index (BMI); prognostic score; risk factors.
