    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    4C Mortality Score for COVID-19

    Predicts in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with COVID-19.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Use with admitted patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Apply to risk stratify patients who are admitted with COVID-19.

    • Designed specifically for hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This may not apply to patients seen in the outpatient setting.
    • Requires eight specific predictors of mortality, not all of which may be immediately available in all settings (e.g. CRP).  
    • Patient population in the study had a median age of 73 years old, 82% white, with an overall mortality of 32.2%. All patients were from England, Scotland, and Wales. Consider when applying this to your patient population

    Risk stratification of admitted COVID-19 patients to aid in determining mortality risk, decision for level of care, and prognostication.
