Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Background: During providing medical care to seriously ill patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), the risk of health care-associated infections (HCAIs) increases in first and second level hospitals. A unified assessment of the severity of the patient's condition which allow to identify the patients at high risk of death and indications for transfer to a third-level hospital is required.
