    Snippet: The pandemic Coronavirus-disease 19 (COVID-19) is characterized clinically by a highly variable course. While most patients experience only mild symptoms, a relevant proportion develop severe disease progression with increasing hypoxia up to acute respiratory distress syndrome. About 5% of patients require intensive care treatment including mechanical ventilation. [1] [2] [3] This variability of COVID-19 and the shortage of health care resources .....
    Document: The pandemic Coronavirus-disease 19 (COVID-19) is characterized clinically by a highly variable course. While most patients experience only mild symptoms, a relevant proportion develop severe disease progression with increasing hypoxia up to acute respiratory distress syndrome. About 5% of patients require intensive care treatment including mechanical ventilation. [1] [2] [3] This variability of COVID-19 and the shortage of health care resources in heavily affected regions make efficient allocation of resources towards patients at high risk for deterioration crucial. 4 We aimed to identify variables that allow the prediction of patients with a high risk of respiratory failure and need of mechanical ventilation.
