The C2HEST score on admission to hospital may successfully predict clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in the all-comers population.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, intensive efforts have been made to identify COVID-19 outcome predictors. The C2HEST score, used to predict the atrial fibrillation risk, reflects the presence of comorbidities. This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of this score in predicting COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized individuals.

Material and methods

2184 medical records of subjects hospitalized due to COVID-19 between February 2020 and June 2021 were analyzed. Subjects were categorized into low/medium/high-risk categories according to the C2HEST score. Outcomes included: in-hospital-, 3- and 6-month-all-cause-mortality, non-fatal hospitalization endpoints, and other in-hospital events.

Results

598 deaths (27.4%), including 326 in-hospital (15%), were rep
