Predicting mortality of individual patients with COVID-19: a multicentre Dutch cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Develop and validate models that predict mortality of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 admitted to the hospital.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

A multicentre cohort across 10 Dutch hospitals including patients from 27 February to 8 June 2020.

Participants

SARS-CoV-2 positive patients (age ≥18) admitted to the hospital.

Main outcome measures

21-day all-cause mortality evaluated by the area under the receiver operator curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. The predictive value of age was explored by comparison with age-based rules used in practice and by excluding age from the analysis.

Results

2273 patients were included, of whom 516 had died or discharged to palliative
