Vital signs assessed in initial clinical encounters predict COVID-19 mortality in an NYC hospital system
Abstract Timely and effective clinical decision-making for COVID-19 requires rapid identification of risk factors for disease outcomes. Our objective was to identify characteristics available immediately upon first clinical evaluation related COVID-19 mortality. We conducted a retrospective study of...

Abstract Timely and effective clinical decision-making for COVID-19 requires rapid identification of risk factors for disease outcomes.
