Validating the RISE UP score for predicting prognosis in patients with COVID-19 in the emergency department: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To mitigate the burden of COVID-19 on the healthcare system, information on the prognosis of the disease is needed. The recently developed Risk Stratification in the Emergency Department in Acutely ill Older Patients (RISE UP) score has very good discriminatory value for short-term mortality in older patients in the emergency department (ED). It consists of six readily available items. We hypothesised that the RISE UP score could have discriminatory value for 30-day mortality in ED patients with COVID-19.

Design

Retrospective analysis.

Setting

Two EDs of the Zuyderland Medical Centre, secondary care hospital in the Netherlands.

Participants

The study sample consisted of 642 adult ED patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between 3 March and until 25 May 202
