Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Accurate prediction of acute hypotensive episodes (AHE) is fundamentally important for timely and appropriate clinical decision-making, as it can provide medical professionals with sufficient time to accurately select more efficient therapeutic interventions for each specific condition. However, existing methods are invasive, easily affected by artifacts and can be difficult to acquire in a pre-hospital setting.
METHODS
In this study, 1055 patients' records were extracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II database (MIMIC II), comprising of 388 AHE records and 667 non-AHE records. Six commonly used machine learning algorithms were selected and used to develop an AHE prediction model based on features extracted from seven types of non-invasive physiological parameters.
RESULTS
The optimal observation window and prediction gap were selected as 300 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively. For GBDT, XGB and AdaBoost, the optimal feature subsets contained only 39% of the overall features. An ensemble prediction model was developed using the voting method to achieve a more robust performance with an accuracy (ACC) of 0.822 and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.878.
CONCLUSION
A novel machine learning method that uses only noninvasive physiological parameters offers a promising solution for easy and prompt AHE prediction in widespread scenario applications, including pre-hospital and in-hospital care.
