IORD Project

PreVent: predicting need to ventilation and ICU admission in patients admitted with COVID-19

COMPLETED
IORD category: COVID-19
Chief Investigator: Dr David Eyre
Sponsor: OUH
Research location: Oxford University
Approval date: 05 May 2020

Up to 30% of patients admitted to hospital with COVID (novel coronavirus infection) will require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) and potentially help with breathing via a ventilator.

We will develop statistical and artificial intelligence approaches to predict which patients are most likely to require admission to ICU and ventilation. These tools will be based on a snapshot of the information available when a patient is admitted to hospital, as well as new information that become available during a patient’s hospital stay.

Our approaches aim to allow patients needing ICU care to be identified earlier to allow their care to be prioritised.
