Institutional Review Board Statement Consent: Only those cases evaluated with chest imaging and a blood test including at least two of the three considered blood parameters at presentation in the ER, who did not decline the general research consent, were included.
IRB: The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (Ethics Committee of the Canton of Zurich, Nr. 2020-00854).Randomization not detected. Blinding not detected. Power Analysis not detected. Sex as a biological variable not detected. Table 2: Resources

Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources For all analyses, we used MS Excel 2016 and SPSS 24. MS Excelsuggested: NoneSPSSsuggested: (SPSS, RRID:SCR_002865)Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The major limitation of this work is the single-center evaluation of only a limited number of patients. Due to its retrospective nature, in 36 of all included cases, LDH values were missing as it was not measured routinely on admission. Smell and taste alterations were actively mentioned by the patients and not routinely asked by physicians yet. The strengths are its simplicity, immediate availability as well as wide applicability due to simple components. The AIFELL score obviously needs to be prospectively applied in larger cohorts of patients to gain more reliable data regarding its diagnostic yield.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
