Admission data used to identify low-risk pneumonia in patients hospitalized with COVID-19

In a new study, data made available upon admission identified about 80% of patients with COVID-19 who had low-risk pneumonia.
“The primary aim of the current study was to identify factors for low-risk SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia that will not require ICU admission ... or lead to death during hospitalization, with the use of clinical and biochemical data obtained in the ED and the Infectious Diseases Society of America/ATS minor criteria for ICU admission in community-acquired pneumonia,” Rosario Menéndez, MD, PhD, from the department of pulmonology at La Fe University and Polytechnic
