A Clinical Risk Score Based on Albumin and Electrolyte Levels for Predicting Death Risk in Hospitalized Elderly COVID-19 Patients
We developed a validated clinical risk score integrating age, serum albumin, potassium, and sodium levels to predict mortality in hospitalized elderly COVID-19 patients. This scoring system enables early risk stratification, assisting clinicians in decision-making and optimizing patient management.
