BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) contribute to increased morbidity, length of hospital stay, and cost. Despite progress in understanding the risk factors, there remains a need to accurately predict the risk of CLAB...
BACKGROUND/AIM: Optimal antimicrobial selection for patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) may differ depending on the underlying mechanisms. We aimed to develop a model for predicting the severity of bacteremia in patients with FN and hematologic ma...
OBJECTIVE: The medical community recently experienced a severe shortage of blood culture media bottles. Rates of blood stream infection (BSI) among critically ill children are low. We sought to design a machine learning (ML) model able to identify ch...
Early diagnosis of bloodstream infection (BSI) is crucial for informed antibiotic use. This study developed a machine learning approach for early BSI detection using a comprehensive dataset from Rigshospitalet, Denmark (2010-2020). The dataset includ...
BACKGROUND: Blood cultures are the gold standard for diagnosing bacterial bloodstream infections, but test results are only available 24-48 h after sampling. We aimed to develop and evaluate models using health-care data to predict bloodstream infect...
BACKGROUND: Early risk assessment is needed to stratify Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (SA-IE) risk among patients with S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) to guide clinical management. The objective of the current study was to develop a novel r...
