(author), Arbous, M.S. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Background: Timely identification of deteriorating COVID-19 patients is needed to guide changes in clinical management and admission to intensive care units (ICUs). There is significant concern that widely used Early warning scores (EWSs) underestimate illness severity in COVID-19 patients and therefore, we developed an early warning model...journal article 2022

van der Voorn, Tom (author), van den Berg, Caroline (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Kok, Kasper (author)The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected societies across the world while its economic impact has cut deeper than any recession since the Second World War. Climate change is potentially an even more disruptive and complex global challenge. Climate change could cause social and economic damage far larger than that caused by COVID-19. The...journal article 2022

Colonna, Kyle J. (author), Nane, G.F. (author), Choma, Ernani F. (author), Cooke, R.M. (author), Evans, John S. (author)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) forecasts from over 100 models are readily available. However, little published information exists regarding the performance of their uncertainty estimates (i.e. probabilistic performance). To evaluate their probabilistic performance, we employ the classical model (CM), an established method typically used...journal article 2022
