Abstract

COVID-19 is a diversely manifested and potentially deadly disease. This is challenging for patient management and development of evidence-based tools, especially considering SARS-CoV-2 evolution and variable pandemic mitigation strategies. Early detection of COVID-19 progression aids in resource allocation and enables timely escalation of care. MeMed has developed a severity prediction test based on an algorithm combining measurements of three immune proteins, creating a technology-human biology synergy that leverages the immune response. Establishing health system comparability is essential when combining data from multiple COVID-19 sub-cohorts, which separately provide low statistical power. To address this, a framework was constructed assessing two dimensions of poolability: respiratory status and therapeutic management.
