Scientists at 23andMe, a company specializing in genomics and biotechnology, developed a COVID-19 hospitalization risk calculator that includes several physical, ethnic and physical activity variables.<\/p>

The company collected data from more than 1 million participants for the study, 10,000 of whom tested positive for COVID-19. And only 750 required hospitalization. However, the page does not explain how the selection process was carried out, nor does it represent data proportional to the population of any country. Nonetheless, the data were submitted by participants via a questionnaire and saliva samples for genomics research.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe created the Severity Calculator because people who have visited 23andMe\u2019s COVID-19 Information Center have consistently been asking for more information about the severity of the virus infection and what factors into why it impacts some people harder than others,\u201d said Janie F. Shelton, PhD. Shelton, principal scientist at 23andMe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To measure the risk of hospitalization for contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus and developing COVID-19, the platform requires age, gender, height and weight. As well as how often the patient exercises and health conditions including fatty liver, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Even ethnicity is important in the analysis, however, there is not enough data collected on estimating the percentage likelihood of hospitalization across all ethnicities.<\/p>

The calculator site shares various data on the research generated, such as the importance of exercise in patients who did not develop the severe form of COVID-19. And the need to maintain weight in normal ranges.<\/p>

In addition, the data collected were published in different studies of which publications already exist, such as the following: \u201cTrans-ethnic analysis reveals genetic and non-genetic associations with COVID-19 susceptibility and severity\u201d, which can be consulted at the following link: https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2020.09.04.20188318v1<\/a><\/p>

Roughly the study explains that using association over genomes they found a relationship between blood type and COVID-19 diagnosis, as well as a gene that is associated with disease severity. \u201cRisk factors for hospitalization include advancing age, male sex, elevated body mass index, lower socio-economic status, non-European ancestry, and pre-existing cardio-metabolic and respiratory conditions,\u201d the study explains.<\/p>

La calculadora determina la gravedad de sufrir complicaciones por COVID-19 hasta el grado de llegar a una hospitalizaci\u00f3n, a trav\u00e9s del an\u00e1lisis de factores como edad, actividad f\u00edsica y peso. Cient\u00edficos de la compa\u00f1\u00eda 23andMe, especializada en gen\u00f3mica y biotecnolog\u00eda desarrollaron una calculadora de riesgo de hospitalizaci\u00f3n ante COVID-19 que para lograr la medici\u00f3n incluye diversas variables tanto f\u00edsicas, \u00e9tnicas y de actividad f\u00edsica. La compa\u00f1\u00eda recolect\u00f3 informaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s de 1 mill\u00f3n de participantes para el estudio, de los cuales 10 mil arrojaron resultados positivos de COVID-19. Y solo 750 requirieron hospitalizaci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, la p\u00e1gina no explica c\u00f3mo fue el proceso de selecci\u00f3n y tampoco representa datos proporcionales a la poblaci\u00f3n de alg\u00fan pa\u00eds. No obstante, los datos fueron enviados por los participantes a trav\u00e9s de un cuestionario y muestras de saliva para una investigaci\u00f3n sobre gen\u00f3mica. \u201cCreamos la Calculadora de gravedad porque las personas que han visitado el Centro de informaci\u00f3n COVID-19 de 23andMe siempre han estado pidiendo m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre la gravedad de la infecci\u00f3n por el virus y los factores que explican por qu\u00e9 afecta a algunas personas m\u00e1s que a otras\u201d, dijo la Dra. Janie F. Shelton, cient\u00edfica principal de 23andMe. Para medir el riesgo de hospitalizaci\u00f3n en caso de contraer el virus SARS-CoV-2 y desarrollar COVID-19, la plataforma requiere la edad, sexo, altura y peso. As\u00ed como la frecuencia con la que el paciente hace ejercicio f\u00edsico y las condiciones de salud que incluye h\u00edgado graso, diabetes tipo 2 y presi\u00f3n sangu\u00ednea alta. Incluso la etnia es importante en el an\u00e1lisis, sin embargo, no hay suficientes datos recolectados sobre estimar el porcentaje de probabilidad en la hospitalizaci\u00f3n en todas las etnias. El sitio de la calculadora comparte diversos datos sobre la investigaci\u00f3n generada, como la importancia del ejercicio en los pacientes que no desarrollaron la forma grave de COVID-19. Y la necesidad de mantener el peso en rangos normales. Adem\u00e1s, los datos recolectaron fueron publicados en diferentes estudios de los cuales ya existen publicaciones, como el siguiente: \u201cEl an\u00e1lisis trans\u00e9tnico revela asociaciones gen\u00e9ticas y no gen\u00e9ticas con la susceptibilidad y la gravedad de COVID-19\u201d, que puede ser consultado en el siguiente enlace https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2020.09.04.20188318v1 A grandes rasgos el estudio explica que utilizando asociaci\u00f3n sobre genomas encontraron una relaci\u00f3n entre el tipo de sangre y el diagn\u00f3stico de COVID-19, as\u00ed como un gen que est\u00e1 asociado con la gravedad de la enfermedad. \u201cLos factores de riesgo de hospitalizaci\u00f3n incluyen edad avanzada, sexo masculino, \u00edndice de masa corporal elevado, nivel socioecon\u00f3mico m\u00e1s bajo, ascendencia no europea y afecciones cardio-metab\u00f3licas y respiratorias preexistentes\u201d, explica el estudio. \u00a0 Puedes ingresar a la herramienta en el siguiente enlace: https:\/\/you.23andme.com\/covid19\/ BIBLIOGRAF\u00cdA 23ANDME https:\/\/you.23andme.com\/covid19\/ \u00a0 https:\/\/blog.23andme.com\/health-traits\/covid-19-severity-calculator\/ \u00a0 MEDRXV https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2020.09.04.20188318v1<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[154,153],"tags":[145],"class_list":["post-12492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comunidades-conectadas","category-plataformas-digitales","tag-noticias"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
