Development and validation of a modified SOFA score for mortality prediction in candidemia patients.

Scientific reports
Candidemia is a life-threatening bloodstream infection associated with high mortality rates, particularly in critically ill patients. Accurate risk stratification is crucial for timely intervention and could improve patient outcomes. This study aimed...

Methodological Review of Classification Trees for Risk Stratification: An Application Example in the Obesity Paradox.

Nutrients
BACKGROUND: Classification trees (CTs) are widely used machine learning algorithms with growing applications in clinical research, especially for risk stratification. Their ability to generate interpretable decision rules makes them attractive to hea...

The extent of Skeletal muscle wasting in prolonged critical illness and its association with survival: insights from a retrospective single-center study.

BMC anesthesiology
OBJECTIVE: Muscle wasting in critically ill patients, particularly those with prolonged hospitalization, poses a significant challenge to recovery and long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to characterize long-term muscle wasting trajectories...

Association between fibrinogen levels and prognosis in critically bleeding patients: exploration of the optimal therapeutic threshold.

European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society
BACKGROUND: Severe bleeding is a leading cause of ICU admission and mortality. Fibrinogen plays a crucial role in prognosis, yet optimal thresholds and supplementation targets remain unclear.

Development of a risk prediction model for secondary infection in severe/critical COVID-19 patients.

BMC infectious diseases
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for secondary infections in patients with severe or critical COVID-19 by analyzing clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators.

Construction and validation of a pain facial expressions dataset for critically ill children.

Scientific reports
Automatic pain assessment for non-communicative children is in high demand. However, the availability of related training datasets remains limited. This study focuses on creating a large-scale dataset of pain facial expressions specifically for Chine...

Timing of kidney replacement therapy in critically ill patients: A call to shift the paradigm in the era of artificial intelligence.

Science progress
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in intensive care units (ICUs) and is associated with high mortality rates, particularly when kidney replacement therapy (KRT) becomes necessary. The optimal timing for initiating KRT remains a subject ...

Interpretable machine learning model for early prediction of disseminated intravascular coagulation in critically ill children.

Scientific reports
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a thrombo-hemorrhagic disorder that can be life-threatening in critically ill children, and the quest for an accurate and efficient method for early DIC prediction is of paramount importance. Candidate ...

The future of artificial intelligence in cardiovascular monitoring.

Current opinion in critical care
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cardiovascular monitoring is essential for managing hemodynamic instability and preventing complications in critically ill patients. Conventional monitoring approaches are limited by predefined thresholds, dependence on clinician e...

Predicting intra-abdominal hypertension using anthropometric measurements and machine learning.

Scientific reports
Almost one in four critically ill patients suffer from intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Currently, the gold standard for measuring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is via the bladder. Measurement of IAP is important to identify IAH early and thus im...
