SARS-CoV-2 viral load in sputum correlates with risk of COVID-19 progression
Open accessAbstract
The pandemic of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) imposes a heavy burden on medical resources [1]. Whether there is correlation between viral load and disease severity has not been clarified. In the study, we retrospectively collected the virological data, as well as demographic, epidemiological clinical information of 92 patients with confirmed COVID-19 in a single hospital in Zhejiang Province, China. We compared the baseline viral loads between severe patients and those mild to moderate at admission and also between those developing severe disease during hospitalization and those not.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
