The COVID Inpatient Risk Calculator: CIRC

Preset values are the mean values of the study participants. For laboratory values, please input the first available lab value in the first 48 hours after admission for each of the requested parameters. For respiratory rate and pulse, enter the median value over the first 24hrs. Use preset values when patient values are unavailable.

The COVID Inpatient Risk Calculator (CIRC) uses factors on admission to the hospital to predict the likelihood that a patient admitted with COVID-19 will progress to severe disease* or death within 7 days of arrival. This model was derived from the first 832 patients admitted to the Johns Hopkins Health System between March 1, 2020 and April 24, 2020, with follow-up through June 24, 2020 (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32960645/).

*severe disease - requiring any of the following: high flow nasal cannula, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, vasopressor support
