Researchers in the U.S. and China have combined AI with blood testing and CT lung imaging to accurately predict which newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients will need a mechanical ventilator.

The team trained and retrospectively cross-validated the model with data from 822 patients at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University and 47 patients from University Hospitals in Cleveland. All patients were seen in 2020 during the first surge of the pandemic.

The model, called ClAIN for clinical and AI imaging nomogram, outperformed an AI predictor (AIP) using only the chest imaging as well as a clinical predictor using only the lab values (ACP).

The project is described in a study running in IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics.
