Background/Objectives:
Discovered in 2019, COVID-19 spread rapidly worldwide, leading from mild forms of the disease to critical forms or death, predominantly among vulnerable patients. Severity scores help clinicians in stratifying the risk of complications and death among patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods:
This study aims to identify the severity scores used in this type of infection, while bibliometric analysis carried out provided a comprehensive overview of global research patterns, trends, and cooperation in scientific literature on the chosen topic.
Results:
We conducted a literature screening to identify severity scores used in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Scores including CURB-54, COVID-GRAM, NEWS, APACHE II, SOFA, qSOFA, CALL, MuLBSTA, ISARIC 4C, and PADUA were identified with different performance indices.
Conclusions:
There were different results obtained depending on the geographical area of applicability, patient groups analyzed, and individual patient characteristics.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
