It gives each patient a score which predicts how their condition will change.  King's College London researchers studied how good the algorithm was at predicting the health outcomes of 1,276 Covid-19 patients admitted...

Researchers evaluate the accuracy of NEWS2 scoring system for predicting COVID outcomes In the first systematic large-scale evaluation of the UK National Early Warning Risk Score (NEWS) 2 as a scoring system for predicting severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients, researchers at King's College London have found poor-to-moderate accuracy for identifying patients at risk of being transferred to intensive care units (ICUs) or dying after 14 days of hospitalization. Accuracy of predictions in short term (three days) showed moderate success. For people who are hospitalized with severe COVID-19, it is ...

It gives each patient a score which predicts how their condition will change.  King's College London researchers studied how good the algorithm was at predicting the health outcomes of 1,276 Covid-19 patients admitted to hospital in March and April 2020. The data reveals 'poor-to-moderate' accuracy for spotting patients who are at risk of being admitted to ICU or dying two ...
