Predicting Severe/Critical Outcomes in Patients With SARS-CoV2 Pneumonia: Development of the prediCtion seveRe/crItical ouTcome in COVID-19 (CRITIC) Model.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To create a prediction model of the risk of severe/critical disease in patients with Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Methods: Clinical, laboratory, and lung computed tomography (CT) severity score were collected from patients admitted for COVID-19 pneumonia and considered as independent variables for the risk of severe/critical disease in a logistic regression analysis. The discriminative properties of the variables were analyzed through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and included in a prediction model based on Fagan's nomogram to calculate the post-test probability of severe/critical disease. All analyses were conducted using Medcalc (version 19.0, MedCalc Software, Ostend, Belgium). Results: One hundred seventy-one pati
