To help with the complexity of deciding whether a patient needs IMV, machine learning algorithms may help bring more prognostic value in a timely and systematic manner. Chest radiographs (CXRs) and electronic medical records (EMRs), typically obtained early in patients admitted with COVID-19, are the keys to deciding whether they need IMV.<h4>Objective</h4>We aimed to evaluate the use of a machine learning model to predict the need for intubation within 24 hours by using a combinJMIR formative researche46905https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10636624biostudies-literatureA Hybrid Decision Tree and Deep Learning Approach Combining Medical Imaging and Electronic Medical Records to Predict Intubation Among Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: Algorithm Development and Validation.PMC10636624Reich DLevin MAKia ANguyen KAFreeman RMazumdar MTandon PFayad ZAGhanavati STimsina PCheetirala SNfalseA Hybrid Decision Tree and Deep Learning Approach Combining Medical Imaging and Electronic Medical Records to Predict Intubation Among Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: Algorithm Development and Validation.<h4>Background</h4>Early prediction of the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms can help in the allocation of resources appropriately and improve patient outcomes by appropriately monitoring and treating patients at the greatest risk of respiratory failure.
