The research was led by the UK Coronavirus Clinical Characterisation Consortium (known as ISARIC4C).
Researchers say the online tool, made freely available to NHS doctors from today (Friday 8 January 2021), could support clinicians decision making - helping to improve patient outcomes and ultimately save lives.
The tool assesses 11 measurements routinely collected from patients, including age, gender, and physical measurements (such as oxygen levels) along with some standard laboratory tests and calculates a percentage risk of deterioration, known as the 4C Deterioration Score .
This innovation, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, builds on the Consortium s previous work developing the 4C Mortality Score to predict the percentage risk of death from COVID-19 after admission to hospital. The 4C Mortality Score is already recommended for use by NHS England to guide anti-viral treatments (Remdesivir).
