Online tool identifies COVID-19 patients at highest risk of deterioration
A new risk-stratification tool which can accurately predict the likelihood of deterioration in adults hospitalised with COVID-19 has been developed by researchers from the UK Coronavirus Clinical Characterisation Consortium (known as ISARIC4C).
ISARIC4C is a consortium of NHS doctors and scientists from universities including the University of Liverpool, UCL, Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Oxford.
Researchers say the online tool, made freely available to NHS doctors from today, could support clinicians’ decision making – helping to improve patient outcomes and ultimately save lives.
