1690P Development of a model to predict hospital admission and severe outcome in cancer patients with COVID-19

Background: Patients (pts) with cancer are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection and death Due to the heterogeneity of manifestations of COVID-19, accurate assessment of patients presenting to hospital is crucial Early identification of pts who are likely to deteriorate allows timely discussions regarding escalation of care It is equally important to identify pts who could be safely managed at home To aid clinical decision making, we developed a model to determine which pts should be admitted vs discharged at presentation to hospital Methods: Consecutive pts with solid or haematological malignancies presenting with symptoms who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 at 10 UK hospitals from March-May 2020 were identified following institutional board approval Clinical and laboratory data were extracted from pt records Clinical outcome measures were discharge within 24 hours, requirement for oxygen at any stage during admission and death The associations between clinical features and outcomes were examined using ANOVA or Chi-squared tests A logistic model was developed using clinical features with p0 8) Using haematological cancer, NEWS2 score, dyspnoea, CRP and albumin, the model predicted requirement for admission with an area under the curve of 0 88 [Formula presented] Conclusions: We have developed a model to predict which pts require hospital admission Further refinement and validation in larger cohorts of pts will be presented Legal entity responsible for the study: The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Funding: Has not received any funding Disclosure: R Lee: Honoraria (self): Bristol Myers Squibb;Honoraria (self): Astra Zeneca;Research grant/Funding (institution): Bristol Myers Squibb M P Rowe: Travel/Accommodation/Expenses: Astellas Pharma L Horsley: Travel/Accommodation/Expenses: Lilly C Wilson: Honoraria (self), Advisory/Consultancy, Speaker Bureau/Expert testimony: Pfizer;Amgen;Novartis T Cooksley: Speaker Bureau/Expert testimony: Bristol Myers Squibb A Armstrong: Shareholder/Stockholder/Stock options, husband had shares now sold: Astra Zeneca All other authors have declared no conflicts of interest
