COVID-19 Scoring System was (CSS) was developed, with the following factors identified as independently related to COVID-19 mortality:
age 60-75 (1 point), age > 75 (2 points),
coronary heart disease (1 point),
lymphocyte count < 8% (1 point),
procalcitonin > 0.15ng/mL (2 points)
and D-dimer > 0.5 μg/mL (1 point).
A score of 2 or less was considered low-risk, and 3 or more high-risk.
The model demonstrated good prognostic accuracy, with mortality rates between low-risk and high-risk groups being 10.0% and 81.1%, respectively.
For patients in the low-risk group, administration of systemic corticosteroids was associated with a significantly longer mean hospital duration and duration of disease.
Corticosteroids also failed to improve survival in the high-risk group.
