Development and Validation of a Two-Step Predictive Risk Stratification Model for Coronavirus Disease 2019 In-hospital Mortality: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: An accurate prognostic score to predict mortality for adults with COVID-19 infection is needed to understand who would benefit most from hospitalizations and more intensive support and care. We aimed to develop and validate a two-step score system for patient triage, and to identify patients at a relatively low level of mortality risk using easy-to-collect individual information.

Design: Multicenter retrospective observational cohort study.

Dynamic Information Flow Tracking: Taxonomy, Challenges, and Opportunities.

Dynamic information flow tracking (DIFT) has been proven an effective technique to track data usage; prevent control data attacks and non-control data attacks at runtime; and analyze program performance. Therefore, a series of DIFT techniques have been developed recently. In this paper, we summarize the current DIFT solutions and analyze the features and limitations of these solutions.
