cord-259329-8pta6o6a	Haimovich, Adrian	Development and validation of the quick COVID-19 severity index (qCSI): a prognostic tool for early clinical decompensation	2020-07-21		.txt	text/plain	4823	275	44	The objective of this study was to derive a risk stratification tool to predict 24 hour respiratory decompensation in admitted patients with COVID-19. 12 Second, to aid healthcare providers in assessing illness severity in COVID-3 19 patients, we present predictive models of early respiratory failure during hospitalization and compare them to three benchmarks accessible using data in the electronic health record: the Elixhauser comorbidity index, 13 the quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA), 14, 15 and the CURB-65 pneumonia severity score. This was a retrospective observational cohort study to develop a prognostic model of early respiratory decompensation in patients admitted from the emergency department with COVID-19. 1Consistent with clinical observations, we noted a significant rate of progression to critical respiratory illness within the first 24 hours of hospitalization in COVID-19 patients.	./cache/cord-259329-8pta6o6a.txt	./txt/cord-259329-8pta6o6a.txt
