Topic:

  • [pre-print, not peer-reviewed] O’Keefe et al. describe the use of a risk assessment tool for telemedicine assessment of outpatients diagnosed with COVID-19. Out of 496 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by self-testing, increasing risk tier was positively associated with risk of hospitalization (Tier 2 vs Tier 1: HR=3.74; Tier 3 vs Tier 1: HR=10.87) (adjusted for age, gender, and obesity).
