Resum

The objective of this study is to develop and validate a predictive model for mortality among severe COVID-19 patients who are candidates for inter-hospital transfer. A multicenter prospective observational study was conducted between 1 January 2021 and 30 April 2021 (third and fourth pandemic waves) in regional coordination centers of the Emergency Medical Services of eight Spanish autonomous communities. Hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 transferred to other hospitals were included. Clinical variables from the initial evaluation, the triage score, and in-hospital mortality rates were collected. A Lasso-type regression analysis was performed to fit the mortality predictive model and its performance was evaluated by a leave-one-out cross-validation. Subsequently, the regional mass triage (MATER) score was created. 1,018 transferred patients were included, with a mean age of 62.3 years (SD 12), of whom 65.1% were male and 89.6% were admitted to an Intensive Care Unit. In-hospital mortality was 23.0%. The MATER score included six variables and presented good discrimination ability with an area under the curve of 0.79 (95% CI 0.77–0.81) and a good calibration with a Brier score of 0.135. The MATER score successfully predicted the mortality rate of severe COVID-19 patients and can be helpful in decision-making for triage and transfer prioritization in mass critical care surges.
