Most existing studies used logistic regression to establish scoring systems to predict intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. Machine learning-based approaches can achieve higher prediction accuracy but, unlike the scoring systems, frequently cannot pr...
Unplanned extubation (UE) can be associated with fatal outcome; however, an accurate model for predicting the mortality of UE patients in intensive care units (ICU) is lacking. Therefore, we aim to compare the performances of various machine learning...
BACKGROUND: Like other scientific fields, such as cosmology, high-energy physics, or even the life sciences, medicine and healthcare face the challenge of an extremely quick transformation into data-driven sciences. This challenge entails the dauntin...

Critical illness in patients is characterized by systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Vitamin D has a myriad of biological functions relevant to this population, including immunomodulation by the alteration of cytokine production and nuclear f...
BACKGROUND: Prognostication is an essential tool for risk adjustment and decision making in the intensive care unit (ICU). Research into prognostication in ICU has so far been limited to data from admission or the first 24 hours. Most ICU admissions ...

The use of machine learning (ML) in healthcare has enormous potential for improving disease detection, clinical decision support, and workflow efficiencies. In this commentary, we review published and potential applications for the use of ML for moni...
INTRODUCTION: Blood cultures are often performed in the intensive care unit (ICU) to detect bloodstream infections and identify pathogen type, further guiding treatment. Early detection is essential, as a bloodstream infection can give cause to sepsi...
