Poor outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 infection are difficult to predict. Survivors may develop pulmonary fibrosis. We previously identified a 52-gene signature in peripheral blood, predictive of mortality in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. In this study, we analyzed this signature in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals and identified genomic risk profiles with significant differences in outcomes. Analysis of single cell expression data shows that monocytes, red blood cells, neutrophils and dendritic cells are the cellular source of the high risk gene signature.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
