Abstract
This paper presents a novel Lasso Logistic Regression model based on feature-based time series data to determine disease severity and when to administer drugs or escalate intervention procedures in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Advanced features were extracted from highly enriched and time series vital sign data of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, including oxygen saturation readings, and with a combination of patient demographic and comorbidity information, as inputs into the dynamic feature-based classification model. Such dynamic combinations brought deep insights to guide clinical decision-making of complex COVID-19 cases, including prognosis prediction, timing of drug administration, admission to intensive care units, and application of intervention procedures like ventilation and intubation. The COVID-19 patient classification model was developed utilizing 900 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in a leading multi-hospital system in Texas, United States. By providing mortality prediction based on time-series physiologic data, demographics, and clinical records of individual COVID-19 patients, the dynamic feature-based classification model can be used to improve efficacy of the COVID-19 patient treatment, prioritize medical resources, and reduce casualties. The uniqueness of our model is that it is based on just the first 24 hours of vital sign data such that clinical interventions can be decided early and applied effectively. Such a strategy could be extended to prioritize resource allocations and drug treatment for future pandemic events.
