Using machine learning for predicting intensive care unit resource use during the COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has put massive strains on hospitals, and tools to guide hospital planners in resource allocation during the ebbs and flows of the pandemic are urgently needed. We investigate whether machine learning (ML) can be used for predictions of intensive care requirements a fi...
