The widespread pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported to affect most countries all over the world, and burden all of the affected healthcare systems. COVID-19 has first emerged in December 2019 within the district of Wuhan which is located in China. Many prognostic scoring systems have been developed to predict severe disease and death for patients with COVID-19. In this literature review, the aim to discuss the various prognostic scoring system used for predicting COVID-19 mortality. It has mainly approached the prognostic scoring systems in two main ways: The clinical and biochemical ways. In addition, the research also investigates the chest X-ray imaging findings based on scoring systems for predicting mortality for patients with COVID-19. Many scoring systems have been reported based on the biochemical and clinical parameters as age, D-dimer, presence of comorbidities, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and other features. Some of the reported scoring systems were recently developed in the COVID-19 pandemic while others were just modified based on the fact that patients with COVID-19 are critically ill, and usually require the same medical attention as other conditions. These scoring systems should be considered by clinicians to early predict and intervene against severe COVID-19 that might cause death. As for the imaging modalities, we have also reported many of the reported systems in the literature, including the ones that are based on chest computed tomography and X-ray findings, and are discussed in detail within this study.
