NEW DELHI: Researchers in UK claim to have developed a blood test that can not only tell whether a
Covid-19 positive patient requires
intensive care but also whether they will survive after developing the symptoms. The test is yet to be tried in real-life hospital settings but if validated, could help doctors target the more vulnerable with life-saving treatments.
It has however been tried on 24 severely ill Covid-19 patients — correctly predicting the outcome for 18 of 19 patients who survived and five of five patients who died.
