Risk factors for progressing to critical illness in patients with hospital-acquired COVID-19

CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with hospital-acquired COVID-19, preexisting respiratory disease, preexisting cardiovascular disease, immunocompromised status, and higher clinical frailty scale and SOFA scores at baseline were risk factors for progression to critical illness. Patients with these risk factors must be prioritized and appropriately isolated or treated in a timely manner, especially in pandemic settings.PMID:38632896 | DOI:10.3904/kjim.2023.347
