Intensive care unit (ICU) patients often experience rapid changes in clinical status, requiring timely identification of deterioration to guide life-sustaining interventions. Current artificial intelligence (AI) models for acuity assessment rely on m...
Myocardial infarction (MI) remains one of the greatest contributors to mortality, and patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with myocardial infarction are at higher risk of death. In this study, we use two retrospective cohorts extracted...
BACKGROUND: Incorporating initial serum chloride levels as a prognostic indicator in the intensive care environment has the potential to refine risk stratification and tailor treatment strategies, leading to more efficient use of clinical resources a...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite advances in intensive care, sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, especially middle-aged and elderly individuals. Given the limitations of conventional scoring systems and...
INTRODUCTION: Predictive scoring systems support clinicians in decision-making by estimating the prognosis of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, there is limited evidence on the accuracy of these systems in predicting mortality and org...

BACKGROUND: Hemorrhage is a prevalent and critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU), characterized by high incidence, elevated mortality rates, and substantial therapeutic challenges. Accurate prediction of mortality in patients with hemorr...
BACKGROUND: The current Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines provide recommendations on timing of administering antibiotics in sepsis patients based on probability of sepsis and presence of shock. However, there have been minimal efforts to str...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and the corresponding mortality rates among cancer patients are both high. However, the existing scoring systems all lack specificity. This research seeks to establish and validate a p...
BACKGROUND: Risk-prediction models are widely used for quality of care evaluations, resource management, and patient stratification in research. While established models have long been used for risk prediction, healthcare has evolved significantly, a...
IMPORTANCE: Clinical artificial intelligence (AI) systems are susceptible to performance degradation due to data shifts, which can lead to erroneous predictions and potential patient harm. Proactively detecting and mitigating these shifts is crucial ...
