Abstract
Abstract Multiple COVID-19 diagnosis methods based on information collected from patients have been proposed during the global pandemic crisis, with the aim of providing medical staff with quick diagnosis tools to efficiently plan and manage the limited healthcare resources. In general, these methods have been developed to detect COVID-19 positive cases from a particular combination of reported symptoms, and have been evaluated using datasets extracted from different studies with different characteristics. On the other hand, the University of Maryland, in partnership with Facebook, launched the Global COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (UMD-CTIS), the largest health surveillance tool to date that has collected information from 114 countries/territories since April 2020. This survey captured various individual features including gender, age groups, self-reported symptoms, isolation measures, and mental health status, among others. In this paper, we compare the performance of different proposed COVID-19 diagnosis methods using the information collected by UMD-CTIS, for the years 2020 and 2021, in five countries: Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, and South Africa. The evaluation of these methods with homogeneous data across countries and years provides a solid and consistent comparison among them.
