A Machine Learning-Based Triage Tool for Children With Acute Infection in a Low Resource Setting.

Pediatric critical care medicine : a journal of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies
OBJECTIVES: To deploy machine learning tools (random forests) to develop a model that reliably predicts hospital mortality in children with acute infections residing in low- and middle-income countries, using age and other variables collected at hosp...

Supervised machine learning for the prediction of infection on admission to hospital: a prospective observational cohort study.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy
BACKGROUND: Infection diagnosis can be challenging, relying on clinical judgement and non-specific markers of infection. We evaluated a supervised machine learning (SML) algorithm for diagnosing bacterial infection using routinely available blood par...

A simplified chart for determining the initial loading dose of teicoplanin in critically ill patients.

Die Pharmazie
AIM OF THE STUDY: A simplified chart to determine the initial loading dose of teicoplanin (TEIC chart) for achieving the target trough concentration was developed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of this chart in criticall...
