Validation of the acutely presenting older patient screener for short term mortality prediction in older patients hospitalized for COVID-19
The APOP screener had a poor predictive performance for in-hospital mortality and 30-days-mortality in older people hospitalized for COVID-19. Screening tools routinely used on the ED may not be useful to predict mortality in different than usual clinical circumstances such as during a pandemic of a novel disease.
