Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a national crisis in which pediatric patients are often prioritized at lower levels. Because the prediction of prognosis for pediatric patients is important but difficult, we developed and validated a deep learning algorithm to predict the need for critical care in pediatric EDs.
