chosen_covid_risk_score: CHOSEN Risk Score for COVID-19 Safe Discharge

Description

Calculates the CHOSEN (COVID Home Safely Now) score to predict the likelihood of a safe discharge for patients with COVID-19. The model uses Age, Sex, Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation, and Albumin to estimate the probability of not requiring ICU admission, intubation, or dying (safe discharge).

Usage

chosen_covid_risk_score(age, sex, respiratory_rate, spo2, albumin,
                        albumin_units = "g/dL")

Value

A list containing:

Probability_Safe_Discharge

The estimated percentage chance of a safe outcome (no ICU/Intubation/Death).

Risk_Category

Classification (Low/Safe, Intermediate, High/Unsafe).

Recommendation

Clinical guidance regarding discharge vs. admission.

Arguments

age

Numeric. Patient age in years.

sex

String. Patient sex ("Male" or "Female").

respiratory_rate

Numeric. Respiratory rate in breaths per minute.

spo2

Numeric. Oxygen saturation on room air (%).

albumin

Numeric. Serum albumin level.

albumin_units

String. Units for albumin. "g/dL" (default) or "g/L".
