Predictors of clinical deterioration in non-severe patients with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study.

CONCLUSION: The four best predictors for clinical deterioration were CRP, procalcitonin, age, and albumin. A "best" multivariable prediction model, resulting from using a variable selection procedure, included senior age, presentation with myalgia, and higher level of CRP and serum creatinine (bias-corrected c-statistic =0.909). Sensitivity and specificity corresponding to a cut point of CRP ≥18.45 mg/L for predicting clinical deterioration were 85% and 74%, respectively. PMID: 33459077 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
