Doctors treating COVID-19 patients can use this online risk calculator, [https://med-predict.com/](https://med-predict.com/), to predict risk of COVID-19 severity in early infection/disease by using laboratory parameters. This neural network-based calculator uses cutoff values specified for COVID-19 patients. Details on this in an article ([Prediction of COVID-19 severity using laboratory findings on admission: informative values, thresholds, ML model performance - PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33637550/)) in the BMJ Open.
