Scientific method can determine if patients will develop a severe case of Covid-19

Scientists say the Dublin-Boston score can accurately predict how severe the coronavirus infection will be on day seven after measuring the patient’s blood for the first four days.

Scientists have developed a new way to tell whether patients will develop a severe form of Covid-19.

The measurement, called the Dublin-Boston score, is designed to allow medical professionals to make informed decisions on identifying which patients might need more stringent treatments such as steroids, and admission to intensive care units.
