FORECAST VARIABLES. RESOURCES CONSUMED AND HOSPITAL COST OF PATIENTS ADMITTED FOR SARS-COV-2 INFECTION ACCORDING TO THEIR FRAGILITY

At the present time, COVID-19 has generated the greatest public health crisis, putting the health care system at serious risk of collapse. Thus, in mid-March it was necessary to resort to the national state of emergency and impose a home confinement that will continue at least until mid-April, with great chances of an extension. During this time, all the services of our hospitals, and especially the emergency and intensive care services, leave completely healthy, exceeding 100% of the existing capacity. In this authentic chaos, tents and pavilions are being set up to be able to attend the increasing number of patients with mild, moderate or severe symptoms of the disease. In addition, the prognostic, as well as the clinical presentation, is highly variable, with no empirical evidence to corroborate these differences. In this project we want to stratify the infected population according to different stages of frailty, in order to study the difference in evolution as well as in the use of hospital resources.
