Prediction of thromboembolic events and mortality by the CHADS2 and the CHA2DS2-VASc in COVID-19

Abstract

The CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and CHA2DS2-VASc-M scores are significantly associated with all-cause mortality but not with thromboembolism in COVID-19 patients. They are simple scoring systems in everyday use that may facilitate initial 'quick' prognostic stratification in COVID-19.
