This study introduces CovEWS, a risk scoring system for predicting COVID-19 mortality risk using electronic health records (EHRs). Developed using data from over 66,430 patients across 69 healthcare institutions, CovEWS demonstrated high predictive performance (78.8% to 69.4% specificity at sensitivities >95%) up to 192 hours before mortality events. The system enables earlier intervention and may help mitigate COVID-19 mortality.
