OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop and validate an explainable machine learning (ML) model to predict 28-day all-cause mortality in immunocompromised patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Accurate and interpretable mortality predic...
Major advances in managing critically ill patients with liver disease have improved their prognosis and access to intensive care facilities. Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is now a well-defined disease and these patients can be fast-tracked fo...
Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are highly susceptible to sepsis. This study evaluates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) models in predicting sepsis risk in intensive care units (ICUs) patients with ICH. We conducted a retrospective ...
BACKGROUND: The prediction of mortality for elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries is a vital research area, as accurate risk assessment can help surgeons make better clinical decisions during the perioperative period. This study aims to b...

BACKGROUND: Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) is prevalent among elderly patients in the ICU and significantly affects patient prognosis. Due to the symptom similarity with other neurological disorders and the absence of specific biomarkers, ear...
OBJECTIVE: To assess patient characteristics and care factors that are associated with correct and incorrect predictions of future care locations (ICU vs. non-ICU) by the Criticality Index-Dynamic (CI-D), with the goal of enhancing the CI-D.
The prediction of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) readmission has become a crucial area of research due to the increasing demand for ICU resources and the need to provide timely interventions to critically ill patients. In recent years, several studies hav...
In healthcare, predictive analysis using unstructured medical data is crucial for gaining insights into patient conditions and outcomes. However, unstructured data, which contains valuable patient information such as symptoms and medical histories, o...
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 ...
