Abstract

Objective:

This study compared the prognostic performances of the Brescia-COVID Respiratory Severity Scale (BCRSS) and the Quick COVID-19 Severity Index (qCSI) scores in hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Methods:

The data of all adult patients (over 18 y of age) who were admitted into a state hospital with confirmed COVID-19 between May 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020, were retrospectively examined. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, known as the area under the curve (AUC), was used to assess the BCRSS prediction rule and the qCSI score to assess the discriminatory power in predicting in-hospital mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

Results:

There were 341 patients included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 58.2 ± 17.2, of which 165 were men and 176 were women, and 61.3% of patients had at least 1 comorbidity. The most common comorbidity was hypertension. The predictive power scores of BCRSS and qCSI were found as very good in terms of in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.804 and 0.847, respectively) and likewise in terms of ICU admission (AUC 0.842 and 0.851, respectively).

Conclusions:

Both BCRSS and qCSI scoring systems were found to be successful in predicting in-hospital mortality and ICU admission in our patient population.
