- Abstract
Dear Editor, We would like to share ideas on the publication "Derivation of a Clinical Risk Score to Predict 14-Day Occurrence of Hypoxia, ICU Admission, and Death Among Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019."[1] Levine et al. "A 3-item risk score for patients with COVID-19 consisting of age, oxygen saturation, and an acute phase reactant (albumin) using point of care data predicts suitability for discharge and may optimize scarce resources." References 1 Levine DM, Lipsitz SR, Co Z, Song W, Dykes PC, Samal L. Derivation of a Clinical Risk Score to Predict 14-Day Occurrence of Hypoxia, ICU Admission, and Death Among Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019. For example, hemolysis can interfere albumin determination.[3] In COVID-19, hemolysis is a possible problem and this might lead to incorrect result of albumin measurement.[4] Declarations Conflict of Interest The authors declare that they do not have a conflict of interest.
