Improving Sepsis Treatment Strategies by Combining Deep and Kernel-Based Reinforcement Learning.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Sepsis is the leading cause of mortality in the ICU. It is challenging to manage because individual patients respond differently to treatment. Thus, tailoring treatment to the individual patient is essential for the best outcomes. In this paper, we t...

Using Machine Learning to Predict the Information Seeking Behavior of Clinicians Using an Electronic Medical Record System.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Poor electronic medical record (EMR) usability is detrimental to both clinicians and patients. A better EMR would provide concise, context sensitive patient data, but doing so entails the difficult task of knowing which data are relevant. To determin...

An Interpretable ICU Mortality Prediction Model Based on Logistic Regression and Recurrent Neural Networks with LSTM units.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
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...

Comparison of machine learning models for the prediction of mortality of patients with unplanned extubation in intensive care units.

Scientific reports
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...

Machine learning in critical care: state-of-the-art and a sepsis case study.

Biomedical engineering online
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...

Vitamin D in the ICU: More sun for critically ill adult patients?

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
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...

Optimal intensive care outcome prediction over time using machine learning.

PloS one
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 ...

Applying machine learning to continuously monitored physiological data.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
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...

Accurate prediction of blood culture outcome in the intensive care unit using long short-term memory neural networks.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
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...
