COVID-19 patients are most likely to have severe kidney injury outcomes while they are in hospital.According to the school, the researchers used data from previous COVID-19 patient cases with known clinical outcomes to develop the potentially life-saving software. Coroner says Quebec Health Department chose to ignore COVID-19 risk in long-term care UWaterloo says the AI models use clinical and biochemical markers such as serum ferritin levels, use of therapeutic heparin, heart rate and blood pressure to determine patterns that will help predict severe kidney-related outcomes for patients.“There is tremendous potential for predictive AI models like this as they can greatly aid clinicians in identifying who needs help the most, and most urgently, to increase survival rates and reduce rates of serious injury,” professor Alexander Wong stated.The AI technolology will also allow doctors to see which predictors determined the program’s results, so the doctor can have more confidence in the findings.“AI models that provide not just predictions but the rationale behind the predictions can greatly improve trust and widespread adoption to support clinicians in their decision-making processes along the entire clinical workflow,” Wong explained.
