Prediction of 30-day COVID-19 hospitalization and death in the Omicron era for contemporary clinical and research applications

时间窗: March 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023

Full models incorporated 84 predictors, including demographics, comorbidities, and receipt of COVID-19 vaccinations and anti-SARS-CoV-2 treatments. Parsimonious models included 19 predictors. The investigators created models for 30-day hospitalization or death, 30-day hospitalization, and 30-day all-cause mortality. The investigators used the Super Learner ensemble machine learning algorithm to fit prediction models. Model performance was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), Brier scores, and calibration intercepts and slopes in a 20% holdout dataset.

The decision tree analysis included transition states from cohort entry (i.e., infection and treatment) to emergency department (ED) visit, hospitalization without intensive care unit (ICU) admission, hospitalization with ICU admission, recovery, and death. Decision trees were created for each subgroup and treatment allocation and parameterized with subgroup and treatment specific transition probabilities. In total, 26 trees (13 subgroups and 2 treatment scenarios) were created and parameterized with over 150 transition probabilities.
