Initial chest radiographs and artificial intelligence (AI) predict clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients: analysis of 697 Italian patients
The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether initial chest X-ray (CXR) severity assessed by an AI system may have prognostic utility in patients with COVID-19. The authors determined, through AI- and radiologist-assessed disease severity scores on CXRs obtained on emergency department (ED) presentation, that they were independent and comparable predictors of adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19.
