Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly and caused a global pandemic, as defined by the WHO, within a short period of time. The prognostic of disease severity is still a challenge and early identification of risk factors to be involved in its progression is of high importance. The scoring of variables related to worse outcomes is key for a targeted and/or advanced protocol. Besides, the need for a predictive-wide model is mandatory for hospitalized unvaccinated patients to avoid any delay in the characterization of severe illness and the development of complications. The LUSZ COVID-19 Severity Index was developed as a predictive tool based on \>100 risk factors/biomarkers, that could effectively identify high-risk patients and prevent mortality.
