- - A study was conducted at CiptoMangunkusumo Hospital to create a diagnostic model for COVID-19, addressing the issue of false-negative results from rapid antigen tests and the need for effective patient isolation.
- - The model was developed using data from 187 patients, focusing on factors like contact history, fever, dyspnea, white blood cell count, and chest radiographs, with a high accuracy rate indicated by an area under the curve of 0.777.
- - The findings suggest that the model can help physicians make quicker decisions about isolating patients with COVID-like symptoms, improving management strategies during the pandemic.
