Only a small proportion of children develop severe COVID-19 disease

Children (including infants) younger than 18 years generally have only mild COVID-19 disease, and deaths were less than 1%. However, 8% of children develop a severe form of the disease that may require intensive care support and prolonged ventilator support. A multicentre study involving 82 health-care institutions across 25 European countries carried out between April … Continue reading Only a small proportion of children develop severe COVID-19 disease

IIITD-AIIMS team’s model can predict shock 12 hours in advance

A team led by IIITD-AIIMS researchers has developed a machine-learning algorithm to detect and predict shock using a single photo captured through thermal imaging. It has the ability to predict shock with 69% accuracy 12 hours before it can be clinically recognised by doctors using the current gold standard. The researchers plan to deploy it … Continue reading IIITD-AIIMS team’s model can predict shock 12 hours in advance
