The hypoxia-age-shock index at triage to predict the outcomes of Covid-19 patients

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a severe burden on medical professionals, as the rapid disposition of patients is important. Therefore, we aimed to develop a new clinical assessment tool based on the shock index (SI) and age-shock index (ASI). We proposed the hypoxia-age-shock index (HASI) and determined the usability of triage for COVID-19 infected patients in the first scene.
