Study: AI Used to Analyze "Covid Death" Data. VERDICT: Most Deaths Caused by Bacterial Pneumonia From VENTILATORS, NOT COVID!
(www.sciencealert.com)https://www.sciencealert.com/most-covid-19-deaths-may-be-the-result-of-a-completely-different-infection'Member how hospitals everywhere were putting everyone and their dog on ventilators, causing a global panic over ventilator shortages, because governments were paying them tens of thousands for every patient they put on a ventilator?
Turns out that's what killed most people who were labeled "Covid deaths". Oops.
The meat and gravy of it:
So while COVID-19 may have put these patients in the hospital, it was actually an infection brought on by the use of a mechanical ventilator that was more likely to be the cause of death when this infection didn't respond to treatment.
The team looked at records for 585 people admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, also in Illinois. They all had severe pneumonia and/or respiratory failure, and 190 had COVID-19.
Using a machine learning approach to crunch through the data, the researchers grouped patients based on their condition and the amount of time they spent in intensive care.
The findings refute the idea that a cytokine storm following COVID-19 – an overwhelming inflammation response causing organ failure – was responsible for a significant number of deaths. There was no evidence of multi-organ failure in the patients studied.
Instead, COVID-19 patients were more likely to develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and for longer periods. Cases where VAP didn't respond to treatment were significant in terms of the overall mortality rates in the study.
"Our data suggested that the mortality related to the virus itself is relatively low, but other things that happen during the ICU stay, like secondary bacterial pneumonia, offset that."
It's also another example of how machine learning artificial intelligence can process vast amounts of data and spot patterns beyond us mere humans – whether it's analyzing proteins or advancing mathematics.
Cough. Some of us "mere humans" have been saying this from the start. All people needed was O2. Ventilator protocol was a death sentence. But O2 is cheap. And ventilators showered the hospitals with cash, courtesy of the tax payer. Every body in a bag worth its weight in gold.
