This observational retrospective study aimed to investigate the usefulness of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Quick SOFA (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and quick NEWS in predicting respiratory failure and death among patients with COVID-19 hospitalized outside of intensive care units (ICU). We included 237 adults hospitalized with COVID-19 who were followed-up on for one month or until death. Respiratory failure was defined as a PaO/FiO ratio ≤200mmHg or the need for mechanical ventilation. Respiratory failure occurred in 77 patients (32.5%), 29 patients (12%) were admitted to the ICU, and 49 patients (20.7%) died. Discrimination of respiratory failure was slightly higher in NEWS, followed by SOFA. Regarding mortality, SOFA was more accurate than the other scores. In conclusion, sepsis scores are useful for predicting respiratory failure and mortality in COVID-19 patients. A NEWS score ≥4 was found to be the best cutoff point for predicting respiratory failure.
这项观察性回顾性研究旨在探讨序贯器官衰竭评估(SOFA)、快速 SOFA(qSOFA)、国家早期预警评分(NEWS)和快速 NEWS 在预测 COVID-19 患者在重症监护病房(ICU)外住院期间发生呼吸衰竭和死亡的有用性。我们纳入了 237 名因 COVID-19 住院的成年人,对其进行了为期一个月或直至死亡的随访。呼吸衰竭定义为 PaO/FiO 比值≤200mmHg 或需要机械通气。77 名患者(32.5%)发生呼吸衰竭,29 名患者(12%)转入 ICU,49 名患者(20.7%)死亡。NEWS 对呼吸衰竭的区分度略高于 SOFA。关于死亡率,SOFA 比其他评分更准确。总之,脓毒症评分可用于预测 COVID-19 患者的呼吸衰竭和死亡率。NEWS 评分≥4 被发现是预测呼吸衰竭的最佳截断点。
