Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing sepsis remains challenging. Data compiled from continuous monitoring and electronic health records allow for new opportunities to compute predictions based on machine learning techniques. There has been a lack of consensus identifying best practices for model development and validation towards early identification of sepsis.
