Abstract
TOUDERT, Djamel. Towards a predictive model for prevention nature of the risk of COVID-19 infection. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2021, vol.157, n.3, pp.240-245. Epub Sep 13, 2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000628.
Introduction:
The scarcity of person-centered applications aimed at developing awareness on the risk posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, stimulates the exploration and creation of preventive tools that are accessible to the population.
Objective:
To develop a predictive model that allows evaluating the risk of mortality in the event of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.
Methods:
Exploration of public data from 16,000 COVID-19-positive patients to generate an efficient discriminant model, evaluated with a score function and expressed by a self-rated preventive interest questionnaire.
Results:
A useful linear function was obtained with a discriminant capacity of 0.845; internal validation with bootstrap and external validation, with 25 % of tested patients showing marginal differences.
Conclusion:
The predictive model with statistical support, based on 15 accessible questions, can become a structured prevention tool.
