Los datos presentados para la realizaci\u00f3n de este estudio fueron recolectados gracias a la app COVID Symptom Study que fue puesta a disposici\u00f3n de la poblaci\u00f3n en Reino Unido y Estados Unidos de forma gratuita, en la cual los usuarios registraban sus s\u00edntomas. El estudio revel\u00f3 que existen seis distintos &#8220;tipos&#8221; de COVID-19 que se distinguen entre s\u00ed por contar con un grupo espec\u00edfico de s\u00edntomas. Para determinar dicho resultado se analizaron mil 600 usuarios de Reino Unido y Estados Unidos con diagn\u00f3stico positivo de COVID-19, dichos usuarios utilizaron la aplicaci\u00f3n entre marzo y abril para actualizar regularmente los s\u00edntomas que presentaron. Este algoritmo fue probado en una segunda agrupaci\u00f3n de datos de mil usuarios en Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y Suecia, este \u00faltimo con datos de mayo. Cada uno de los seis grupos de s\u00edntomas representa distintos tipos de gravedad de la enfermedad o incluso algunos grupos no representan peligro alguno. Los seis grupos de s\u00edntomas se encuentran clasificados de la siguiente manera: &#8220;Similar a la gripe&#8221; sin fiebre: dolor de cabeza, p\u00e9rdida del olfato, dolores musculares, tos, dolor de garganta, dolor en el pecho, sin fiebre. &#8220;Similar a la gripe&#8221; con fiebre: dolor de cabeza, p\u00e9rdida de olfato, tos, dolor de garganta, ronquera, fiebre, p\u00e9rdida de apetito. Gastrointestinal: dolor de cabeza, p\u00e9rdida de olfato, p\u00e9rdida de apetito, diarrea, dolor de garganta, dolor en el pecho, sin tos. Nivel uno severo, fatiga: dolor de cabeza, p\u00e9rdida del olfato, tos, fiebre, ronquera, dolor en el pecho, fatiga. Nivel severo dos, confusi\u00f3n: dolor de cabeza, p\u00e9rdida de olfato, p\u00e9rdida de apetito, tos, fiebre, ronquera, dolor de garganta, dolor de pecho, fatiga, confusi\u00f3n, dolor muscular. Nivel severo tres, abdominal y respiratorio: dolor de cabeza, p\u00e9rdida de olfato, p\u00e9rdida de apetito, tos, fiebre, ronquera, dolor de garganta, dolor de pecho, fatiga, confusi\u00f3n, dolor muscular, falta de aliento, diarrea, dolor abdominal. Como se puede observar el dolor de cabeza y la p\u00e9rdida del olfato son los s\u00edntomas que m\u00e1s frecuencia tienen en los distintos grupos, siendo estos dos de los principales s\u00edntomas de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, el estudio tambi\u00e9n encontr\u00f3 que s\u00edntomas que no est\u00e1n relacionados a COVID-19 como confusi\u00f3n, dolor de pecho y falta de aliento se encuentran entre los grupos de s\u00edntomas en los cuales la enfermedad resulta de mayor gravedad. \u201cSi podemos predecir qui\u00e9nes son estas personas en el quinto d\u00eda, tenemos tiempo para brindarles apoyo e intervenciones tempranas, como controlar los niveles de ox\u00edgeno y az\u00facar en la sangre, y asegurarse de que est\u00e9n hidratados adecuadamente: atenci\u00f3n simple que se podr\u00eda brindar en el hogar, prevenir las hospitalizaciones y salvando vidas\u201d, explic\u00f3 la Dra. Claire Steves del King&#8217;s College London. Este descubrimiento representa beneficios para el tratamiento cl\u00ednico de esta enfermedad, ayudando a los profesionales de la salud a predecir cu\u00e1les pacientes se encuentran en un riesgo mayor y requieren de atenci\u00f3n hospitalaria o como mencion\u00f3 la Dra. Steves para prevenir hospitalizaciones y posteriores complicaciones.
