Histogram displaying the distribution of the risk for death for Ebola patients recruited for the Ebola-Tx trial, Conakry, Guinea, 2015, according to a 5-variable point-of-care (POC+) prognostic prediction model. POC+ model includes 3 POC measurements (blood creatinine, calcium, and hemoglobin) plus the cycle threshold value of the diagnostic Ebola PCR result and the age of the patient. ETU, Ebola treatment unit.
