Rapid Rule Out of Culture-Negative Bloodstream Infections by Use of a Novel Approach to Universal Detection of Bacteria and Fungi.

The journal of applied laboratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Currently it can take up to 5 days to rule out bloodstream infection. With the low yield of blood cultures (approximately 10%), a significant number of patients are potentially exposed to inappropriate therapy that can lead to adverse eve...

Accurate prediction of blood culture outcome in the intensive care unit using long short-term memory neural networks.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
INTRODUCTION: Blood cultures are often performed in the intensive care unit (ICU) to detect bloodstream infections and identify pathogen type, further guiding treatment. Early detection is essential, as a bloodstream infection can give cause to sepsi...

Automated Interpretation of Blood Culture Gram Stains by Use of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of clinical microbiology
Microscopic interpretation of stained smears is one of the most operator-dependent and time-intensive activities in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Here, we investigated application of an automated image acquisition and convolutional neural net...

Diagnostic Stewardship of Blood Cultures in the Pediatric ICU Using Machine Learning.

Hospital pediatrics
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...

Utilising routinely collected clinical data through time series deep learning to improve identification of bacterial bloodstream infections: a retrospective cohort study.

The Lancet. Digital health
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...

The Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Model to Predict Bacteremia and Fungemia in Hospitalized Patients Using Electronic Health Record Data.

Critical care medicine
OBJECTIVES: Bacteremia and fungemia can cause life-threatening illness with high mortality rates, which increase with delays in antimicrobial therapy. The objective of this study is to develop machine learning models to predict blood culture results ...
