Abstract

Because approximately 14% of patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 present severe clinical pictures and 5% require critical care, the advance of the virus is causing an overload in the health system. In this context, the use of Predictive models to identify the most vulnerable subjects becomes a priority objective.Using data collected from electronic health records, this project aims to: 1) build survival and classification algorithms to estimate the risk of patients; and 2) based on the treatments administered to the patients, through the use of causal inference models, to quantify the effectiveness of the drugs according to the characteristics of the patients.
