The CURB-65 score predicted ICU hospitalization and in-hospital mortality better than the qCSI and the BCRSS scores. Also, the qCSI score predicted ICU admission better than the BCRSS score.The predictive effect of the BCRSS score was the lowest. We recommend future studies to evaluate the value and utility of COVID-19 risk classification models.
