Coronavirus Coronavirus Sars-Associated as Cause of Disease Classified Elsewhere |
The investigators a-priori plan the following analysis:
-
Derivation and Retrospective Validation.
- Select all adult patients with a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 beginning March 1, 2020 until approximately 1000 patients are included.
- Use 75% of this cohort to develop a simple risk-score that prognosticates a patient's suitability for discharge (no supplemental oxygen, no intensive care unit, and no death). Use multivariable logistic regression with forward selection informed by clinical judgement to choose variables a priori that emphasizes readily available data and easy calculation for use at the point of care.
- Use 25% of this cohort to retrospectively validate the risk-score.
-
Prospective Validation.
- Select all adult patients with a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 as soon as the derivation cohort in step 1 is assembled. Include approximately 250 patients.
- Use this sample to prospectively validate the risk-score developed in part 1.
