Risk Stratification Score

Abstract Background Clinical risk scores and machine learning models based on routine laboratory values could assist in automated early identification of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients at risk for severe clinical outcomes. They can guide patient triage, inform allocation of health care resources, and contribute to the improvement of clinical outcomes. Methods In- and out-patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 at the Insel Hospital Group Bern, Switzerland, between February 1st and August 31st (‘first wave’, n = 198) and September 1st through November 16th 2020 (‘second wave’, n = 459) were used as training and prospective validation cohort, respectively. A clinical risk stratification score and machine learning (ML) models were developed using demographic data, medical history, and laboratory values taken up to 3 days before, or 1 day after, positive testing to predict severe outcomes of hospitalization (a composite endpoint of admission to intensive care, or death from any cause). Test accuracy was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Results Sex, C-reactive protein, sodium, hemoglobin, glomerular filtration rate, glucose, and leucocytes around the time of first positive testing (− 3 to + 1 days) were the most predictive parameters. AUROC of the risk stratification score on training data (AUROC = 0.94, positive predictive value (PPV) = 0.97, negative predictive value (NPV) = 0.80) were comparable to the prospective validation cohort (AUROC = 0.85, PPV = 0.91, NPV = 0.81). The most successful ML algorithm with respect to AUROC was support vector machines (median = 0.96, interquartile range = 0.85–0.99, PPV = 0.90, NPV = 0.58). Conclusion With a small set of easily obtainable parameters, both the clinical risk stratification score and the ML models were predictive for severe outcomes at our tertiary hospital center, and performed well in prospective validation.

BACKGROUND Several models have been developed to predict mortality in patients with Covid-19 pneumonia, but only few have demonstrated enough discriminatory capacity. Machine-learning algorithms represent a novel approach for data-driven prediction of clinical outcomes with advantages over statistical modelling. OBJECTIVE To developed the Piacenza score, a Machine-learning based score, to predict 30-day mortality in patients with Covid-19 pneumonia METHODS The study comprised 852 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, admitted to the Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital (Italy) from February to November 2020. The patients’ medical history, demographic and clinical data were collected in an electronic health records. The overall patient dataset was randomly splitted into derivation and test cohort. The score was obtained through the Naïve Bayes classifier and externally validated on 86 patients admitted to Centro Cardiologico Monzino (Italy) in February 2020. Using a forward-search algorithm six features were identified: age; mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration; PaO2/FiO2 ratio; temperature; previous stroke; gender. The Brier index was used to evaluate the ability of ML to stratify and predict observed outcomes. A user-friendly web site available at (https://covid.7hc.tech.) was designed and developed to enable a fast and easy use of the tool by the final user (i.e., the physician). Regarding the customization properties to the Piacenza score, we added a personalized version of the algorithm inside the website, which enables an optimized computation of the mortality risk score for a single patient, when some variables used by the Piacenza score are not available. In this case, the Naïve Bayes classifier is re-trained over the same derivation cohort but using a different set of patient’s characteristics. We also compared the Piacenza score with the 4C score and with a Naïve Bayes algorithm with 14 features chosen a-priori. RESULTS The Piacenza score showed an AUC of 0.78(95% CI 0.74-0.84 Brier-score 0.19) in the internal validation cohort and 0.79(95% CI 0.68-0.89, Brier-score 0.16) in the external validation cohort showing a comparable accuracy respect to the 4C score and to the Naïve Bayes model with a-priori chosen features, which achieved an AUC of 0.78(95% CI 0.73-0.83, Brier-score 0.26) and 0.80(95% CI 0.75-0.86, Brier-score 0.17) respectively. CONCLUSIONS A personalized Machine-learning based score with a purely data driven features selection is feasible and effective to predict mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
