- 4 years ago
Researchers in Ireland say they have developed a system that can predict who will suffer from severe COVID-19.
According to UPI, the team of researchers revealed their study and findings on Wednesday.
The scoring system, called the Dublin-Boston score, is designed to enable clinicians to make more informed decisions.
Physicians will be able to identify patients who may benefit from steroids and other treatments after being infected.
The test accurately predicts how severe the infection will be after measuring the patient's blood for the first four days.
