This report addresses, from a machine learning perspective, a multi-class classification problem to predict the first deterioration level of a COVID-19 positive patient at the time of hospital admission. Socio-demographic features, laboratory tests and other measures are taken into account to learn the models. Our output is divided into 4 categories ranging from healthy patients, followed by patients requiring some form of ventilation (divided in 2 cate-gories) and finally patients expected to die. The study is conducted thanks to data provided by Sociedad Espanola de Medicina Interna (SEMI) and Red de Investigacion en Servicios de Salud de Enfermedades Cronicas (REDISSEC). Results show that logistic regression is the best method for identifying patients with clinical deterioration.

"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.
