The large number of risk stratification tools reflects difficulties in their application, with most scores showing moderate performance at best and no benefit to clinical decision making.67 Many novel covid-19 prognostic scores have been found to have a high risk of bias, which could reflect development in small cohorts, and many have been published without clear details of model derivation and testing.5 Therefore, a risk stratification tool within a large national cohort of patients admitted to hospital with covid-19 is needed with clear development and validation details. |
