ABSTRACT: investigate the predictive value of NEWS2, NEWS-C, and COVID-19 Severity Index for predicting intensive care unit (ICU) transfer in the next 24 hours. retrospective multicenter studySetting: two third-level hospitals in ArgentinaPatients: all adult patients with confirmed COVID-19, admitted on general wards, excluding patients with non-intubated orders.
