Despite the globally reducing hospitalization rates and the much lower risks of Covid-19 mortality, accurate diagnosis of the infection stage and prediction of outcomes are clinically of interest. Advanced current technology can facilitate automating the process and help identifying those who are at higher risks of developing severe illness. Deep-learning schemes including Visual Transformer and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), in particular, are shown to be powerful tools for predicting clinical outcomes when fed with either CT scan images or clinical data of patients.This paper demonstrates how a novel 3D data fusion approach through concatenating CT scan images with patients’ clinical data can remarkably improve the performance of Visual Transformer and CNN models in predicting Covid-19 infection outcomes. Here, we explore and represent comprehensive research on the efficiency of Video Swin Transformers and a number of CNN models fed with fusion datasets and CT scans only vs a set of conventional classifiers fed with patients’ clinical data only. A relatively large clinical dataset from 380 Covid-19 diagnosed patients was used to train/test the models. Results show that the 3D Video Swin Transformers fed with the fusion datasets of 64 sectional CT scans+67 (or 30 selected) clinical labels outperformed all other approaches for predicting outcomes in Covid-19-infected patients amongst all techniques (i.e., TPR=0.95, FPR=0.40, F0.5 score=0.82, AUC=0.77, Kappa=0.6). Results indicate possibilities of predicting the severity of outcome using patients’ CT images and clinical data collected at the time of admission to hospital. |
