Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Unrecognized clinical deterioration during illness requiring hospitalization is associated with high risk of mortality and long-term morbidity among children. Our objective was to develop and externally validate machine learning algorithms using electronic health records for identifying ICU transfer within 12 hours indicative of a child's condition.
