'Blood test could identify who is most likely to die of coronavirus'
BLOOD tests could help identify patients who are more likely to die from the coronavirus, scientists have claimed.
In order to determine the impact on patients, blood tests would be carried out using mass spectrometers that could run as many as 800 tests a day. In order for the technique to be successful, it would rely on machine learning which is currently being trained on data gathered from hundreds of German patients.So far in the UK over 39,000 people have died from the coronavirus and the new development could help NHS care providers determine how patients with the virus are treated.Scientists should receive ethical approval from the NHS within weeks, then it will be able to use data from patients which would also train and test the AI.
