Analysis of unstructured data. Complete blood cell count (CBC) data collected from 101 COVID-19 patients over five days after hospitalization (283 temporal observations) were classified according to WHO ordinal scale. The uni-dimensional analysis of leukocyte counts (white blood cells or WBC) revealed overlapping data distributions that prevented the separation of observations according to the WHO scale [rectangle, (A)]. The analysis of different cell types, measured as relative percentages, also exhibited overlapping intervals across WHO classes [rectangle, (B)]. A three-dimensional analysis of the same data displayed overlapping intervals that prevented patient partitioning, both when all temporal observations were considered and when day-1 data were plotted (C,D).
