Association between prehospital shock index and mortality among patients with COVID-19 disease

The hypoxia-age-shock index at triage to predict the outcomes of Covid-19 patients

“…There is no doubt that there are correlations between vital signs during the presentation and the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. Previous literature also confirmed the validity of shock index on predicting the mortality of COVID infected patients [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Previous studies have shown a correlation between low oxygen saturation levels and decreased survival rates [ 11 ]. Other risk factors that may be associated with mortality include, but are not limited to old age [ 12 ], chronic illness, obesity, or abnormality in laboratory results [ 7 ]. Baccolini et al [ 13 ] have found that COVID infected patients may be more vulnerable to health-care-associated infections, contributing to the higher in-hospital mortality rate.…”

Prehospital age-shock index and outcomes among patients with COVID-19 disease

“…We read with great interest an article by Jouffroy et al [ 1 ] for sharing their study “Association between prehospital shock index and mortality among patients with COVID-19 disease”. The prehospital shock index was not associated with ICU admission and 30-day mortality in patients with covid-19.…”

Prehospital shock index in predicting mortality among patients with COVID-19

“…We read with great interest the article titled “Association between prehospital shock index and mortality among patients with ” by Jouffroy et al [ 1 ]. While we have a few suggestions for researchers, we request that researchers clarify some issues.…”
