Risk Stratification of COVID-19 Patients Discharged From the Emergency Department

NCT04629183 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 742

Summary

Risk stratification of COVID-19 patients is essential to define their appropriate treatment setting. So far, available studies have focused on morbidity and mortality prediction in patients admitted to hospital. In the Emergency Department (ED), decision on home discharge versus hospital admission for COVID-19 is cumbersome. While facing a dramatic second wave of SARS-CoV-2, shortage of hospital beds has further increased the challenge.

The present study will prospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients discharged from the ED. Stratification will be based on a composite of demographic, clinical and lung imaging variables. Results will be used to develop standardized decision rules for safe home discharge of patients with COVID-19 evaluated in the ED.
