Charlson comorbidity index has no incremental value for mortality risk prediction in nursing home residents with COVID-19 disease

Anum Zahra, Maarten van Smeden, Petra J. M. Elders et al. · 2025 · BMC Geriatrics

Abstract Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing home (NH) residents faced the highest risk of severe COVID-19 disease and mortality. Due to their frailty status, comorbidity burden can serve as a useful predictive indicator of vulnerability in this frail population. However, the prognostic value of these cumulative comorbidity scores like the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) remained unclear in this population. We evaluated the incremental predictive value of the CCI for predicting 28-day mortality in NH residents with COVID-19, compared to prediction using age and sex only. Methods
