Model Predicts Emergency Department Patients ’ COVID-19 Outcomes

A new artificial intelligence algorithm uses chest x-ray severity scores and clinical variables collected during emergency department (ED) visits to predict whether patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will be intubated or will die. If further validated in larger studies with additional patient populations, the proof-of-concept model, described in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, could be used to appropriately triage ED patients before they become seriously ill with COVID-19.
