Before revision:  A DL segmentation pipeline was developed to generate masks for both lung fields and artifacts for each CXR. Machine learning classifiers to predict mechanical ventilation requirement and mortality were trained and evaluated on 353 baseline CXRstaken from COVID-19 positive patients .
After revision:  DL and machine learning classifiers to predict mechanical ventilation requirement and mortality were trained and evaluated on 353 baseline CXRstaken from COVID-19 positive patients .
