BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) increase morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Effective hand hygiene (HH) is crucial for prevention, but achieving high compliance remains challenge. This study explores using machine learning t...
This retrospective study used 10 machine learning algorithms to predict the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). A total of 2,517 patients treated in the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Ch...

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections (NIs) frequently occur and adversely impact prognosis for hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. This study aims to develop and validate two machine learning models for NIs and in-hospital mortality risk prediction.
Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
Jul 6, 2024
BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) pose a significant threat to public health. Intensive Care Units (ICU), characterized by the extensive use of antimicrobial agents and a high prevalence of bacterial resistance, are hotspots for MDRO p...
BACKGROUND: Nosocomial infections with heavy disease burden are becoming a major threat to the health care system around the world. Through long-term, systematic, continuous data collection and analysis, Nosocomial infection surveillance (NIS) system...

PURPOSE: To use machine learning to examine health equity and clinical outcomes in patients who experienced a nurse sensitive indicator (NSI) event, defined as a fall, a hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) or a hospital-acquired infection (HAI).
BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired influenza (HAI) is under-recognized despite its high morbidity and poor health outcomes. The early detection of HAI is crucial for curbing its transmission in hospital settings.
We present a novel methodology for integrating high resolution longitudinal data with the dynamic prediction capabilities of survival models. The aim is two-fold: to improve the predictive power while maintaining the interpretability of the models. T...
