Clinical Decision Support Tool

Symptoms of COVID-19 are non-specific, and infected individuals may develop fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, or muscle aches with further disease development leading to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), myocardial injury, sepsis, septic shock, and death.  A large number of patients requiring intensive care threatens to overwhelm the healthcare systems around the world.  The COVID-19 Disease Severity Index allows physicians to prioritize care for patients at elevated risk of mortality and manage low risk patients in outpatient settings or at home through self-quarantine.
