Abstract

BACKGROUND: Research on electronic health record physiologic data is common, invariably including artifacts. Traditionally, these artifacts have been handled using simple filter techniques. The authors hypothesized that different artifact detection algorithms, including machine learning, may be necessary to provide optimal performance for various vital signs and clinical contexts.
