Application of machine learning approach in emergency department to support clinical decision making for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To support physicians in clinical decision process on patients affected by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in areas with a low vaccination rate, we devised and evaluated the performances of several machine learning (ML) classifiers fed with readily available clinical and laboratory data. Our observational retrospective study collected data from a cohort of 779 COVID-19 patients presenting to three hospitals of the Lazio-Abruzzo area (Italy). Based on a different selection of clinical and respiratory (ROX index and PaO2/FiO2 ratio) variables, we devised an AI-driven tool to predict safe discharge from ED, disease severity and mortality during hospitalization. To predict safe discharge our best classifier is an RF integrated with ROX index that reached AUC of 0.96. To predict disease severity the best classifier was an RF integrated with ROX index that reached an AUC of 0.91. For mortality prediction the best classifier was an RF integrated with ROX index, that reached an AUC of 0.91. The results obtained thanks to our algorithms are consistent with the scientific literature an accomplish significant performances to forecast safe discharge from ED and severe clinical course of COVID-19.
