Análise de Desfechos de COVID-19 no RJ através de Técnicas de Aprendizado de Máquina
Analysis of COVID-19 Outcomes in RJ through of Machine Learning Techniques
Publication year: 2023
Given the rapid spread of COVID-19, having
tools to screen patients and reduce the risk of death is crucial.
This study focuses on the outcomes (cures and deaths) of
confirmed COVID-19 cases in Rio de Janeiro State for both
vaccinated and unvaccinated patients. Machine Learning (ML)
algorithms were used to classify outcomes based on symptom,
comorbidity, and age data obtained from the State Health
Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro. After cleaning the dataset and
selecting relevant attributes, the final model achieved an
accuracy of 87,3% and a precision of 86,6% in predicting
outcomes for unvaccinated patients. Similarly, the final model
for vaccinated patients achieved an accuracy of 86,3% and a
precision of 83,1% in predicting outcomes. In addition, the
attributes of patients that stand out with and without the vaccine
were evaluated. Overall, these results demonstrate the potential
benefits of using machine learning methods to improve patient
screening and reduce the risk of COVID-19-related deaths. (AU)
