A cardiac arrest is a life-threatening event, often fatal. Whilst clinicians classify some of the cardiac arrests as potentially predictable, the majority are difficult to identify even in a post-incident analysis. Changes in some patients' physiolog...
There is growing interest in applying machine learning methods to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Across different institutions, however, EMR quality can vary widely. This work investigated the impact of this disparity on the performance of three a...

Exponential surge in health care data, such as longitudinal data from electronic health records (EHR), sensor data from intensive care unit (ICU), etc., is providing new opportunities to discover meaningful data-driven characteristics and patterns of...
OBJECTIVE:: To determine the factors that influence the decision to transfer children in septic shock from level II to level I pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) care.
UNLABELLED: The study aimed to evaluate the value of soluble endothelial selectin (sE-selectin) plasma level measurement in predicting acute lung injury (ALI) outcome in children.

UNLABELLED: Vital signs are crucial clinical measures, with body temperature (BT) and heart rate (HR) being particularly significant. While their association has been studied in adults and children, research in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) se...
OBJECTIVE: The medical community recently experienced a severe shortage of blood culture media bottles. Rates of blood stream infection (BSI) among critically ill children are low. We sought to design a machine learning (ML) model able to identify ch...
