Machine Learning Predicts Unplanned Care Escalations for Post-Anesthesia Care Unit Patients during the Perioperative Period: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

BACKGROUND:  Despite low mortality for elective procedures in the United States and developed countries, some patients have unexpected care escalations (UCE) following post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) discharge. Studies indicate patient risk factors for UCE, but determining which factors are most important is unclear. Machine learning (ML) can predict clinical events. We hypothesized that ML could...

A systematic literature review of predicting patient discharges using statistical methods and machine learning.

Discharge planning is integral to patient flow as delays can lead to hospital-wide congestion. Because a structured discharge plan can reduce hospital length of stay while enhancing patient satisfaction, this topic has caught the interest of many healthcare professionals and researchers. Predicting discharge outcomes, such as destination and time, is crucial in discharge planning by helping health...

ICURE: Intensive care unit (ICU) risk evaluation for 30-day mortality. Developing and evaluating a multivariable machine learning prediction model for patients admitted to the general ICU in Sweden.

BACKGROUND: A prediction model that estimates mortality at admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) is of potential benefit to both patients and soc...

AI-enabled ECG index for predicting left ventricular dysfunction in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients ...

Deep learning for predicting rehospitalization in acute heart failure: Model foundation and external validation.

AIMS: Assessing the risk for HF rehospitalization is important for managing and treating patients with HF. To address this need, various risk predicti...

Development and validation of machine learning models to predict MDRO colonization or infection on ICU admission by using electronic health record data.

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) pose a significant threat to public health. Intensive Care Units (ICU), characterized by the extensiv...

Validation of an Electronic Health Record-Based Machine Learning Model Compared With Clinical Risk Scores for Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Guidelines recommend use of risk stratification scores for patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) to identify ver...

DeepSAP: A Novel Brain Image-Based Deep Learning Model for Predicting Stroke-Associated Pneumonia From Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) often appears as a complication following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), leading to poor p...

Machine learning risk stratification for high-risk infant follow-up of term and late preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Term and late preterm infants are not routinely referred to high-risk infant follow-up programs at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) dis...

Development of a new prognostic model to predict pneumonia outcome using artificial intelligence-based chest radiograph results.

This study aimed to develop a new simple and effective prognostic model using artificial intelligence (AI)-based chest radiograph (CXR) results to pre...

An explainable machine learning-based model to predict intensive care unit admission among patients with community-acquired pneumonia and connective tissue disease.

BACKGROUND: There is no individualized prediction model for intensive care unit (ICU) admission on patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) an...

Prediction of short-term progression of COVID-19 pneumonia based on chest CT artificial intelligence: during the Omicron epidemic.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The persistent progression of pneumonia is a critical determinant of adverse outcomes in patients afflicted with COVID-19. Thi...

Deep learning survival model predicts outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage from initial CT scan.

BACKGROUND: Predicting functional impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) provides valuable information for planning of patient care and rehab...

Use of machine learning to identify protective factors for death from COVID-19 in the ICU: a retrospective study.
