	Yes (1)

 
Result
 
Important: Inputs must be complete to perform calculation.

 

Score		# count index logit none number points score

 

     
 
Include literature references: Yes   No

 

Score Interpretation

 

-6 to 0 points:	Low risk of mortality
1 to 3 points:	Mild risk of mortality
4 to 7 points:	Moderate risk of mortality
8 to 11 points:	High risk of mortality
12 to 22 points:	Very high risk of mortality

 

 

 

Notes

• This calculator represents findings from the literature referenced below. It is important to understand that these findings may not be representative of the experience in your local healthcare system.
• Obesity is not objectively defined in the Bello-Chavolla study.^[1]
• COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

 
Equations used
 

Score = AgeFactor + Diabetes + Obesity + Pneumonia + Chronic kidney disease + COPD + Immunosupression

 

 

Calculation Details and Variables

• AgeFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Age ≥65 yr AgeFactor = 3
  • Else if Age ≥40 yr AgeFactor = 0
  • Else AgeFactor = -6.
• Equation parameters such as Diabetes, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (0), represent the values that will be used.
