Abstract

Highlights: There is a need for reliable tools to predict the evolution of hospitalized patients suffering from COVID-19. The likelihood of unfavourable evolution for patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with a National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) below 7 at Day 7 of hospitalization is nearly non-existent. Such a score could thus be used to allow earlier discharge of the patients and as a judgement criterion in therapeutic trials.
