Tsn,
Thank you for sharing the article. It is enlightening and gives even more credence to our results were we achieved statistical significance PPP (Per Protocol Population) following NEWS2.
Copying the conclusions of the article:
This is just very encouraging

NEWS2 score at hospital admission predicted severe disease and in-hospital mortality, and was superior to other widely used clinical risk scores in patients with covid-19

Conclusions
One out of four patients hospitalised with covid-19 had severe disease, and in-hospital mortality was 20%. NEWS2 score at emergency department admission predicted severe disease and in-hospital mortality and was superior to qSOFA and other clinical risk scores for this purpose. A NEWS2 score ≥ 6 predicted severe disease with 80.0% sensitivity and 84.3% specificity. The use of clinical scoring systems to predict severe disease and mortality in patients with covid-19 should be investigated further in larger prospective studies.
This is just very encouraging
