The clinical course of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and aggravation risk prediction models: a retrospective, multi-center Korean cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the clinical course and pivotal time points of COVID-19 aggravation is critical for enhancing patient monitoring. This retrospective, multi-center cohort study aims to identify these significant time points and associate them with potential risk factors, leveraging data from a sizable cohort with mild-to-moderate symptoms upon admission.

Methods

This study included data from 1,696 COVID-19 patients with mild-to-moderate clinical severity upon admission across multiple hospitals in Daegu-Kyungpook Province (Daegu dataset) between February 18 and early March 2020 and 321 COVID-19 patients at Seoul Boramae Hospital (Boramae dataset) collected from February to July 2020. The approach involved: (1) identifying the optimal time point for aggravation using
