Development and validation of a risk prediction model for hospital admission in COVID-19 patients presenting to primary care
CONCLUSION: We derived a risk model using readily available variables at GP assessment to predict hospital admission for COVID-19. It performed accurately across regions and waves. Further validation on cohorts with acquired immunity and newer SARS-CoV-2 variants is recommended.PMID:38682305 | PMC:PMC11060008 | DOI:10.1080/13814788.2024.2339488 (Source: European Journal of General Practice)
