The association between vital signs at hospital admission and adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vital sign measurements at hospital admission are used to identify patients at risk for adverse events. However, how vital signs at admission are related to adverse outcomes among COVID-19 patients is not fully characterized.

Objectives

To characterize vital signs at admission and their associations with intensive care unit/intermediate care unit (ICU/IMCU) admission and in-hospital mortality in adult patients with COVID-19.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 2,826 adults admitted with COVID-19 to Karolinska University Hospitals, Stockholm, Sweden, between 2 March 2020 and 1 June 2021. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between vital signs at admission
