Deep learning models for acute kidney injury prediction: multi-center external validation and evaluation under simulated continuous monitoring conditions.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common hospital complication with substantial morbidity and mortality. Deep learning models for AKI prediction show strong development-cohort performance, but single-point evaluation fails to capture behaviour under continuous monitoring. We conducted a multi-centre retrospective study using electronic health records from three cohorts (n = 157,323 admissions): Natio...
