Abstract

The 4C Mortality Score (4C Score) was designed to risk stratify hospitalised patients with COVID-19. We assessed inclusion of 4C Score in COVID-19 management guidance and its documentation in patients’ case notes in January 2021 in UK hospitals. 4C Score was included within guidance by 50% of sites, though score documentation in case notes was highly variable. Higher documentation of 4C Score was associated with score integration within admissions proformas, inclusion of 4C Score variables or link to online calculator, and management decisions. Integration of 4C Score within clinical pathways may encourage more widespread use.
