Abstract: After exposure to a viral pathogen, the host–pathogen interaction is essential determine whether or not infection will ensue, and what clinical outline of be. Recent research has shown that patient with obesity presents set particular pathophysiological changes lead higher severity infections, this particularly true for influenza viruses. Herein, we describe main metabolic, endocrine, immune dysregulations occur in presence their impact on driving intra-host diversity, leading heightened virulence influenza. We show linked modified responses both innate adaptive systems during including Due chronic inflammation signaling pathway disruptions, individuals have suboptimal response. This results longer illness duration, increased virus shedding, risk hospitalization complications, greater mortality rates. Additionally, they may blunted response vaccination likelihood genetic mutation selection. Understanding intricate interplay between pathogenesis crucial developing efficacious therapeutic approaches public health policies, light escalating worldwide incidence obesity.

Critical Determinants of COVID-19 Severity and Predictive Modeling for Healthcare Optimization

Global Journal of Medical and Clinical Case Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12(1), С. 004 - 010

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic placed unprecedented strain on global healthcare systems, highlighting the need to identify critical determinants of disease severity and develop predictive models for resource optimization. This study aimed most significant factors influencing severity, analyze comorbidity patterns, machine learning predicting severe outcomes. Using a dataset 1,000 patients, demographic, clinical, medical history data were analyzed. Comorbidities such as COPD (96.3%), chronic renal (92.6%), cardiovascular issues (93.9%), diabetes (69.9%) found be highly prevalent among cases. Over half patients required ICU admission (51.1%) or ventilator support (54.5%), indicating impact symptoms systems. Four decision tree, logistic regression, random forest, AdaBoost evaluated accuracy using 20-80 ratio 10-fold cross-validation. In ratio, regression emerged effective models, achieving 77.00% accuracy, with excelling in precision at 79.84% specificity 91.75%, Logistic Regression providing highest sensitivity 67.96% balanced predictions. average results across all folds follows: Decision Tree was 65.80%, Random Forest 72.40%, 75.40%, 75.50%. These findings underscore importance comorbidities determining demonstrate utility modeling optimizing resources. concludes that tailored interventions high-risk learning-driven allocation strategies can enhance efficiency during pandemics.
