Accuracy of Different COVID-19 Severity Scores in ICU Transfer Prediction and Mortality Prediction Among Inpatients at Lebanese American University Medical Center-Rizk Hospital (LAUMC-RH)
Despite the ability of all five scores in predicting the severity of COVID-19, their predictive accuracy varied. Taking into consideration this being a single-center study, further multicenter validation studies in the MENA region are needed to define the optimal triaging model for COVID-19 infection or any future respiratory pandemic.
