Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Sepsis is an infection-caused syndrome, that leads to life-threatening organ damage. We aim to develop machine learning models with large-scale data to predict sepsis patients' mortality.
DESIGN
we extracted sepsis patients from two databases, Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) as a train set and Philips eICU Collaborative Research Database as a test set.
SETTING
ICUs in multicenter hospitals in the USA during 2012-2019.
PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS
A total of 21,680 sepsis-3 patients are included in the study, in which, 3771 patients were dead and 17,909 survived during hospitalization, respectively.
INTERVENTIONS
No interventions.
MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST
Basic information, examination items during hospitalization and some medication and treatment information are incorporated into analyzed. Seven different models were built with a Support vector machine, Decision Tree Classifier, Random Forest, Gradients Boosting, Multiple Layer Perception, Xgboost, light Gradients Boosting to predict dead or live during hospitalization.
RESULTS
Algorithms with an AUC value in the test set of the top three: light GBM, GBM, Xgboost. Considering the performance of the training set and the test set, the light GBM model performs best, and then the parameters of the model were adjusted, after that the AUC value was 0.99 in the train set, 0.96 in the test set, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Models built with light GBM algorithm from real-world sepsis patients from electronic health records accurately predict whether sepsis patients are dead and can be incorporated into clinical decision tools to enhance the prognosis of the patient and prevent adverse outcomes.
