Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bloodstream Infection (BSI) is a severe systemic infectious disease that can lead to sepsis and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), resulting in high mortality rates and posing a major public health burden globally. Early identification of BSI is crucial for effective intervention, reducing mortality, and improving patient outcomes. However, existing diagnostic methods are flawed by low specificity, long detection times and high demands on testing platforms. The development of artificial intelligence provides a new approach for early disease identification. This study aims to explore the optimal combination of routine laboratory data and clinical monitoring indicators, and to utilize machine learning algorithms to construct an early, rapid, and universally applicable BSI risk prediction model, to assist in the early diagnosis of BSI in clinical practice.
