Abstract

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among intensive care unit (ICU) patients and significantly raises the in-hospital mortality rate. Existing scoring systems or models have limited predictive capabilities for AF patients in ICU. Our study developed and validated machine learning models to predict the risk of in-hospital mortality in ICU patients with AF.
