Utah COVID-19 Severity Risk Score — High-Risk Patient Identification

The Utah COVID-19 Severity Risk Score was developed by the University of Utah and Intermountain Healthcare to identify COVID-19 patients at highest risk for severe outcomes (ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, or in-hospital death) for prioritization of treatment resources and targeted monitoring. It was derived from a large electronic health record cohort during the first and second pandemic waves and incorporates comorbidities, demographic factors, and physiological measurements available at initial presentation.
