- Correlating drug prescriptions with prognosis in severe COVID-19: first step towards resource management(2022) LEVIN, Anna S.; FREIRE, Maristela P.; OLIVEIRA, Maura Salaroli de; NASTRI, Ana Catharina S.; HARIMA, Leila S.; PERDIGAO-NETO, Lauro Vieira; MAGRI, Marcello M.; FIALKOVITZ, Gabriel; FIGUEIREDO, Pedro H. M. F.; SICILIANO, Rinaldo Focaccia; SABINO, Ester C.; CARLOTTI, Danilo P. N.; RODRIGUES, Davi Silva; NUNES, Fatima L. S.; FERREIRA, Joao EduardoBackground Optimal COVID-19 management is still undefined. In this complicated scenario, the construction of a computational model capable of extracting information from electronic medical records, correlating signs, symptoms and medical prescriptions, could improve patient management/prognosis. Methods The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between drug prescriptions and outcome in patients with COVID-19. We extracted data from 3674 medical records of hospitalized patients: drug prescriptions, outcome, and demographics. The outcome evaluated was hospital outcome. We applied correlation analysis using a Logistic Regression algorithm for machine learning with Lasso and Matthews correlation coefficient. Results We found correlations between drugs and patient outcomes (death/discharged alive). Anticoagulants, used very frequently during all phases of the disease, were associated with good prognosis only after the first week of symptoms. Antibiotics very frequently prescribed, especially early, were not correlated with outcome, suggesting that bacterial infections may not be important in determining prognosis. There were no differences between age groups. Conclusions In conclusion, we achieved an important result in the area of Artificial Intelligence, as we were able to establish a correlation between concrete variables in a real and extremely complex environment of clinical data from COVID-19. Our results are an initial and promising contribution in decision-making and real-time environments to support resource management and forecasting prognosis of patients with COVID-19.
- Predicting the outcome for COVID-19 patients by applying time series classification to electronic health records(2022) RODRIGUES, Davi Silva; NASTRI, Ana Catharina S.; MAGRI, Marcello M.; OLIVEIRA, Maura Salaroli de; SABINO, Ester C.; FIGUEIREDO, Pedro H. M. F.; LEVIN, Anna S.; FREIRE, Maristela P.; HARIMA, Leila S.; NUNES, Fatima L. S.; FERREIRA, Joao EduardoBackground COVID-19 caused more than 622 thousand deaths in Brazil. The infection can be asymptomatic and cause mild symptoms, but it also can evolve into a severe disease and lead to death. It is difficult to predict which patients will develop severe disease. There are, in the literature, machine learning models capable of assisting diagnose and predicting outcomes for several diseases, but usually these models require laboratory tests and/or imaging. Methods We conducted a observational cohort study that evaluated vital signs and measurements from patients who were admitted to Hospital das Clinicas (Sao Paulo, Brazil) between March 2020 and October 2021 due to COVID-19. The data was then represented as univariate and multivariate time series, that were used to train and test machine learning models capable of predicting a patient's outcome. Results Time series-based machine learning models are capable of predicting a COVID-19 patient's outcome with up to 96% general accuracy and 81% accuracy considering only the first hospitalization day. The models can reach up to 99% sensitivity (discharge prediction) and up to 91% specificity (death prediction). Conclusions Results indicate that time series-based machine learning models combined with easily obtainable data can predict COVID-19 outcomes and support clinical decisions. With further research, these models can potentially help doctors diagnose other diseases.
