What Do We Want To Know?

Our objective is to identify predictive factors associated with complications in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.


How Are We Doing It?

We plan to apply both traditional statistical methods and machine learning approaches to develop and evaluate predictive models. 


How Is The Project Going?

Our ethics protocol was recently approved, and we are actively working on getting access to the dataset. 


Who Can Participate?

No individuals can participate in this study, as it involves analysis of previously collected data only.
