SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load Predicts COVID-19 Mortality	2020-06-12		.txt	text/plain	1007	72	57	We are the first to report that SARS-CoV-2 viral load at the time of presentation is an independent predictor of COVID-19 mortality in a large patient cohort (n=1,145). To date, few studies have reported on SARS-CoV-2 viral loads, and no studies have assessed viral load and mortality in large patient cohorts. 2, 3, 4, 5 This letter is the first to report SARS-CoV-2 viral load at the time of diagnosis as an independent predictor of COVID-19 mortality in a large hospitalized cohort (n=1,145) within the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.11.20128934 doi: medRxiv preprint Transforming front-line qualitative testing into a quantitative viral load will assist clinicians in risk-stratifying patients who should be admitted and closely monitored versus those who may safely convalesce at home.
