Abstract
Objectives

To develop prognosis prediction models for COVID-19 patients attending an emergency department (ED) based on initial chest X-ray (CXR), demographics, clinical and laboratory parameters.

Methods

All symptomatic confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to our hospital ED between February 24th and April 24th 2020 were recruited. CXR features, clinical and laboratory variables and CXR abnormality indices extracted by a convolutional neural network (CNN) diagnostic tool were considered potential predictors on this first visit. The most serious individual outcome defined the three severity level: 0) home discharge or hospitalization ≤ 3 days, 1) hospital stay >3 days and 2) intensive care requirement or death. Severity and in-hospital mortality multivariable prediction models were developed and internally validated. The Youden index was used for the optimal threshold selection of the classification model.

Results

A total of 440 patients were enrolled (median 64 years; 55.9% male); 13.6% patients were discharged, 64% hospitalized, 6.6% required intensive care and 15.7% died. The severity prediction model included oxygen saturation/inspired oxygen fraction (SatO2/FiO2), age, C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte count, extent score of lung involvement on CXR (ExtScoreCXR), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer level and platelets count, with AUC-ROC = 0.94 and AUC-PRC = 0.88. The mortality prediction model included age, SatO2/FiO2, CRP, LDH, CXR extent score, lymphocyte count and D-dimer level, with AUC-ROC = 0.97 and AUC-PRC = 0.78. The addition of CXR CNN-based indices did not improve significantly the predictive metrics.

Conclusion

The developed and internally validated severity and mortality prediction models could be useful as triage tools in ED for patients with COVID-19 or other virus infections with similar behaviour.

Resumen
Objetivos

Desarrollar modelos de predicción de pronóstico para pacientes con COVID-19 que acuden a urgencias, basados en la radiografía de tórax inicial (RXT), parámetros demográficos, clínicos y de laboratorio.

Métodos

Se reclutaron todos los pacientes sintomáticos con COVID-19 confirmada, que ingresaron en urgencias de nuestro hospital entre el 24 de febrero y el 24 de abril de 2020. Los parámetros de la RXT, las variables clínicas y de laboratorio y los índices de hallazgos en RXT extraídos por una herramienta diagnóstica de inteligencia artificial en esta primera visita se consideraron potenciales predictores. El desenlace individual más grave definió los tres niveles de gravedad: 0) alta domiciliaria u hospitalización de 3 días o inferior, 1) hospitalización más de 3 días y 2) necesidad de cuidados intensivos o muerte. Se desarrollaron y validaron internamente modelos de predicción multivariable de gravedad y mortalidad hospitalaria. El índice de Youden se utilizó para la selección del umbral óptimo del modelo de clasificación.

Resultados

Se registraron 440 pacientes (mediana de 64 años; 55,9% hombres); el 13,6% de los pacientes fueron dados de alta, el 64% hospitalizo más de 3 días, el 6,6% requirió cuidados intensivos y un 15,7% falleció. El modelo de predicción de gravedad incluyó saturación de oxígeno/fracción de oxígeno inspirado (SatO2/FiO2), edad, proteína C reactiva (PCR), linfocitos, puntuación de la extensión de la afectación pulmonar en la RXT (ExtScoreRXT), lactato deshidrogenasa (LDH), dímero D y plaquetas, con AUC-ROC = 0,94 y AUC-PRC = 0,88. El modelo de predicción de mortalidad incluyó edad, SatO2/FiO2, PCR, LDH, ExtScoreRXT, linfocitos y dímero D, con AUC-ROC = 0,97 y AUC-PRC = 0,78. La adición de índices radiológicos obtenidos por inteligencia artificial no mejoró significativamente las métricas predictivas.

Conclusión

Los modelos de predicción de pronóstico desarrollados podrían ser útiles para clasificar en urgencias a los pacientes con COVID-19 u otras infecciones víricas con comportamiento similar.
