QCOVID prediction algorithm - Mick - 10-21-2020

Supposedly predicted 3/4 of all COVID deaths in Britain based upon the top 5% at risk.  Tested on 2.2 million patients from January through April 30.

There’s apparently an online calculator here: https://qcovid.org/BMJ/ but I couldn’t get it to load.

Loaded for me. My results:

COVID associated death

The absolute risk of a COVID-19 associated death is 1 in 1477.

This is in rank 86 out of 100, where 100 is most at risk.

Interesting that it doesn't ask about blood pressure, which is a risk factor, or blood type, as there is fairly solid evidence that people with type A blood are at increased risk, while those with type O blood are protected.

I get the following. I had to read the FAQ and track down supplementary box 2b of the article to be able to fill in everything they asked for.

The absolute risk of a COVID-19 associated death is 1 in 1091.

This is in rank 89 out of 100, where 100 is most at risk.

in the model derivation they included "treated hypertension" as a possible independent variable. I suspect they did not have blood type information in the GP records on a majority of people in the cohort.
