When to use
- Prioritising scarce outpatient COVID-19 therapeutics by estimating risk of hospitalisation and mortality.
Formula
0.5 points per decade of age; 2 points each for diabetes, severe immunocompromise, and obesity (BMI >=30); 1 point each for male sex, dyspnea, hypertension, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, chronic pulmonary disease, chronic liver disease, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic neurologic disease.
Pearls and pitfalls
- The original derivation model also included a race/ethnicity term, which was later removed from clinical use; it is omitted here.
- Thresholds for treatment eligibility varied by resource availability and vaccination status.
