Risk stratification for hospitalized adults with COVID-19 is essential to inform decisions about individual patients and allocation of resources. So far, risk models for severe COVID outcomes have included age
"The risk factors that are consistently showing up as concerning for having a poor outcome are underlying heart or lung disease and, very strongly, obesity," Rizza said. "BMI over 30 is consistently in study after study shown to be a risk factor for having a poor outcome from COVID." Tr...
Genetic variants that are linked to immune signalling, mucus production and other functions increase the risk of critical COVID-19. By Freda Kreier Twitter Facebook Email Scientists have identified a host of genetic variants that are linked to an increased risk of developing severe COVID-191. ...
Hence, age stratification shows that risk factors for severe COVID-19 differ by age, in ways that cannot be determined in all-age models. This affirms the importance of analyzing each different age group separately, particularly for the older population who have the greater overall risk for ...

Severe COVID-19 risk factors include old age, smoking and preexisting medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (Ellinghaus et al., 2020). Nonetheless, there is increasing number of young healthy population with severe disease up to death (Liu et al.,...
Identifying causal risk factors for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is critical for its prevention and treatment. Many associated pre-existing conditions and biomarkers have been reported, but these observational associations suffer from confo
