A vital sign-based prediction algorithm for differentiating COVID-19 versus seasonal influenza in hospitalized patients

Abstract Patients with influenza and SARS-CoV2/Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections have a different clinical course and outcomes. We developed and validated a supervised machine learning pipeline to distinguish the two viral infections using the available vital signs and demographic datas...
