Abstract
X-ray images present non-trivial features with predictive information of patients that develop severe symptoms of COVID-19. This paper presents an original methodology for extracting semantic features that correlate to severity from a data set with patient ICU admission labels through interpretable models. The validation is partially performed by a proposed method that correlates the extracted features with a separate larger data set that does not contain the ICU-outcome labels. The analysis points out that only a few features explain most of the variance between patients admitted in ICUs or not. Besides attesting separability on patients that eventually develop severe symptoms, the proposed methods represent a statistical approach highlighting the importance of features related to ICU admission that may have been only qualitatively reported. While handling limited data sets, notable methodological aspects are adopted, such as presenting a state-of-the-art lung segmentation network and the use of low-complexity models to avoid over fitting.
