  COVID-19 Severity by Shock Index and Modified Shock Index

 
Input
 
Heart Rate  
Systolic BP  
Diastolic BP

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.
  • In the Kurt article[1] the Shock Index cutoff for hospital mortality was 0.72 with sensitivity of 71.2%, specificity of 69.6%, and ROC-AUC of 0.719. The mShock Index cutoff for hospital mortality was 1 with sensitivity of 74%, specificity of 72.4%, and a slightly better ROC-AUC of 0.739.
  • BP: blood pressure; MAP: mean arterial pressure.

 
Equations used
 
MAP = ((2 * Diastolic BP) + Systolic BP) / 3
Shock Index = Heart Rate / Systolic BP
mShock Index = Heart Rate / MAP
