Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Although ML has been studied for different epidemiological and clinical issues as well as for survival prediction of COVID-19, there is a noticeable shortage of literature dealing with ML usage in prediction of disease severity changes through the course of the disease. In that way, predicting disease progression from mild towards moderate, severe and critical condition, would help not only to respond in a timely manner to prevent lethal results, but also to minimize the number of patients in hospitals where this is not necessary.
