Identification of Hospitalized Mortality of Patients with COVID-19 by Machine Learning Models Based on Blood Inflammatory Cytokines.
Frontiers in public health(2022)
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread worldwide and presented a significant threat to people's health. Inappropriate disease assessment and treatment strategies bring a heavy burden on healthcare systems. Our study aimed to construct predictive models to assess patients with COVID-19 who may have poor prognoses early and accurately. This research performed a retrospective analysis on two cohorts of patients with COVID-19. Data from the Barcelona cohort were used as the training set, and data from the Rotterdam cohort were used as the validation set. Cox regression, logistic regression, and different machine learning methods including random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree (DT) were performed to construct COVID-19 death prognostic models. Based on multiple clinical characteristics and blood inflammatory cytokines during the first day of hospitalization for the 138 patients with COVID-19, we constructed various models to predict the in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19. All the models showed outstanding performance in identifying high-risk patients with COVID-19. The accuracy of the logistic regression, RF, and DT models is 86.96, 80.43, and 85.51%, respectively. Advanced age and the abnormal expression of some inflammatory cytokines including IFN-α, IL-8, and IL-6 have been proven to be closely associated with the prognosis of patients with COVID-19. The models we developed can assist doctors in developing appropriate COVID-19 treatment strategies, including allocating limited medical resources more rationally and early intervention in high-risk groups.
