Summary:Purpose: Coronavirus disease is a global pandemic with millions of confirmed cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide that continues to create a significant burden on the healthcare systems. The aim of this study was to determine the patient clinical and paraclinical profiles that associate with COVID-19 unfavourable outcome and generate a prediction model that could separate between high-risk and low-risk groups. Patients and Methods: The present study is a multivariate observational retrospective study. A total of 483 patients, residents of the municipality of Timisoara, the biggest city in the Western Region of Romania, were included in the study group that was further divided into 3 sub-groups in accordance with the disease severity form. Results: Increased age (cOR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.06-1.11, p
