Document: OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effectiveness of the Rapid Emergency Medicine Score and the Rapid Acute Physiology Score in identifying critical patients among those presenting to the emergency department with COVID-19 symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective, observational, cohort study included patients with COVID-19 symptoms presenting to the emergency department over a two-month period. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and the data of all-cause mortality within 30 days after admission were noted, and the Rapid Emergency Medicine Score and the Rapid Acute Physiology Score were calculated by the researchers. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the discriminative ability of the scores. RESULTS: A total of 555 patients with a mean of age of 49.4 ± 16.8 years were included in the study. The rate of 30-day mortality was 3.9% for the whole study cohort, 7.2% for the patients with a positive rt-PCR test result for SARS-CoV-2, and 1.2% for those with a negative rt-PCR test result for SARS-CoV-2. In the group of patients with COVID-19 symptoms, according to the best Youden's index, the cut-off value for the Rapid Emergency Medicine Score was determined as 3.5 (sensitivity: 81.82%, specificity: 73.08%), and the area under curve (AUC) value was 0.840 (95% confidence interval 0.768–0.913). In the same group, according to the best Youden's index, the cut-off value for the Rapid Acute Physiology Score was 2.5 (sensitivity: 90.9%, specificity: 97.38%), and the AUC value was 0.519 (95% confidence interval 0.393–0.646). CONCLUSION: REMS is able to predict patients with COVID-19-like symptoms without positive rt-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 that are at a high-risk of 30-day mortality. Prospective multicenter cohort studies are needed to provide best scoring system for triage in pandemic clinics.
