Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to global healthcare systems, especially in the timely assessment of disease severity and resource allocation. Traditional clinical and imaging markers, although useful, often lack the sensitivity and speed necessary for early and accurate patient classification. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in assessing COVID-19 severity, aiding diagnosis, prognosis, and clinical decision-making.
