In a previous multicenter study involving 1,045 hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19, we identified several independent risk factors, such as advanced age, obesity and inflammation, associated with the early development of severe disease [3] . In the present study, we aimed to develop a practical score for estimating the risk of rapid progression to severe disease in a cohort of patients hospitalized for COVID-19. [SD], 16), and 612 patients (58.6%) were men (supplementary Table 1 Based on previously identified prognostic factors [3] , we then defined a prognostic BAS²IC score including BMI, age, sex, shortness of breath and inflammatory parameters to screen patients at a risk of developing early severe disease (Table 1 ).	./cache/cord-032268-oj94e8wo.txt	./txt/cord-032268-oj94e8wo.txt
