Table 4 Test characteristics of the 6-mRNA score in non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 patients using the three-band test report. “Severe in band” is the number of patients with severe viral infection assigned to the corresponding band. “Non-severe in band” is the number of patients with non-severe viral infection assigned to the corresponding band. The “Percent severe in band” is the percentage of patients in the band who had severe outcome. The “In-band” column is the percentage of patients assigned by the classifier to the corresponding band.
