It improves the assessment accuracy in acute illness and facilitates early detection of clinical deterioration. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of NEWS in predicting outcomes among patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study analyzed the clinical data from patients with COVID-19 admitted to the emergency resuscitation room of Beijing Luhe Hospital, Capital Medical University, between December 2022 and January 2023. Data included initial laboratory test results obtained within 1\u2009h of admission, chest computed tomography findings, NEWS, Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS), and quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive performance of NEWS, MEWS, and qSOFA for 30-day all-cause mortality. Patients were categorized into survivor and nonsurvivor groups. Differences in laboratory parameters and imaging features between the two groups were compared, and logistic regression was employed to identify independent risk factors for prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 446 patients were enrolled, including 219 survivors and 227 nonsurvivors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for predicting mortality was 0.945 (95% confidence interval: 0.926\u20130.963) for NEWS, which was significantly higher than those for MEWS (0.903, 95% confidence interval: 0.877\u20130.929) and qSOFA (0.902, 95% confidence interval: 0.881\u20130.923) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.05).
