| Abstract: | We report the high frequency of early mortality in COVID‐19 patients (48.6% of 72 deaths). Early deaths were not explained by differences in age, sex and comorbidities, but they had a more severe disease at hospital admission compared with late deaths. These data highlight the importance of outpatient monitoring for the early identification of COVID‐19 patients who require hospital admission. |
