Impact of COVID-19 isolation measures on ICU microbial resistance dynamics: simulation-based statistical modeling analysis.

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
BACKGROUND: The transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in intensive care units (ICUs) poses a significant challenge to infection control and patient safety. While direct patient-to-patient transmission is well documented, the relative contribu...

Explainable AI for infection prevention and control: modeling CPE acquisition and patient outcomes in an Irish hospital with transformers.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriace (CPE) poses a critical concern for infection prevention and control in hospitals. However, predictive modeling of previously highlighted CPE-associated risks such as readmission, mortality, and ext...

An infection prediction model developed from inpatient data can predict out-of-hospital COVID-19 infections from wearable data when controlled for dataset shift.

Scientific reports
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of early detection of illness and the need for health monitoring solutions outside of the hospital setting. We have previously demonstrated a real-time system to identify COVID-19 infection before diag...

Machine learning-based evaluation of risk factors for carbapenem-resistant dissemination in neonatal units.

mSystems
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), particularly in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), pose significant challenges due to neonates' vulnerability and the rapid infection spread. However, risk factors facilitating pathogen persistence and dis...

Hospital acquired drug resistant pathogens infections in patients with viral respiratory tract infections: a retrospective study.

BMC infectious diseases
BACKGROUND: Viral respiratory infections (VRTIs) caused by influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 pose significant global health challenges. Clinical outcomes are further exacerbated by infections with hospital acquired drug resistant pathogens (DRPs).

Early detection of ICU-acquired infections using high-frequency electronic health record data.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the ICU. Earlier identification of these complications may facilitate better clinical management and improve outcomes. We developed a dynamic prediction model that leve...

The future of healthcare-associated infection surveillance: Automated surveillance and using the potential of artificial intelligence.

Journal of internal medicine
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are common adverse events, and surveillance is considered a core component of effective HAI reduction programmes. Recently, efforts have focused on automating the traditional manual surveillance process by util...

Predicting carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection risk using XGBoost model and explainability.

Scientific reports
The prevalence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is a global public health problem. This study aims to identify the risk factors of CRPA infection and construct a machine learning model to provide a prediction tool for ...

Predicting infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in neurocritical care patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP): development of a novel multivariate prediction model.

Microbiology spectrum
Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is prevalent in the neuro-intensive care unit (NICU), significantly increasing susceptibility to infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), which result in high mortality rates and substantial healthcare ...

Constructing a screening model to identify patients at high risk of hospital-acquired influenza on admission to hospital.

Frontiers in public health
OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning (ML)-based admission screening model for hospital-acquired (HA) influenza using routinely available data to support early clinical intervention.
