Highlights |
• | In elderly COVID-19 inpatients, admission NEWS2 scores did not predict mortality. |
• | Of components of NEW2 score, only systolic blood pressure predicted mortality. |
• | A high variability in NEW2 score predicted mortality. |
• | NEWS2 score does not consider the degree of supplemental oxygen patients require. |
• | A more sensitive early warning score for COVID-19 is needed. |
