Risk Stratification of Patients Admitted to Hospital with Covid-19 Using the ISARIC WHO Clinical Characterisation Protocol: Development and Validation of the 4C Mortality Score | Chapter 20 | Diagnostic and Treatment Advances in COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2

Few models can perfectly predict coming events. Even having encountered the disastrous pandemic of SARS-COV-2, and the complex disease COVID-19 it initiated. Antiviral drugs and vaccines available now have very limited effects, and the novel strategies on the way have uncertain results. In addition, COVID-19 has greatly changed our views, from formerly being a predominantly pulmonary disease to a systematic syndrome affecting many organs. Furthermore, many more factors are tightly correlated with COVID-19, such as age, comorbidities, psychic situation, public healthy polices, even the politic aspects. Management and prevention partially under the guidance of a pragmatic risk stratification tool to predict mortality in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 become more and more important.
