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.
Methods: We present a methodology for the classification of patients into 4 distinct categories of the clinical condition of COVID-19 disease.
COVID-19 is one of the greatest challenges humanity has faced recently, forcing a change in the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. Therefore, many efforts have been made by researchers across the globe in the attempt of determining the models of COVID-19 spread. The objectives of this review are to analyze some of the open-access datasets mostly used in research in the field of COVID-19 regression modeling as well as present current literature based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for regression tasks, like disease spread.

Estimation of the epidemiology curve for the COVID-19 pandemic can be a very computationally challenging task. Thus far, there have been some implementations of artificial intelligence (AI) methods applied to develop epidemiology curve for a specific country. However, most applied AI methods generated models that are almost impossible to translate into a mathematical equation.

Its impact is most noticeable in the health care system, mostly due to the accelerated and increased influx of patients with a more severe clinical picture. These facts are increasing the pressure on health systems.
