Background: Predicting mortality risk in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is challenging due to complex, variable clinical and physiological data. Machine learning (ML) offers potential for more accurate risk stratification.
Objective: To compare the performance of various ML models in predicting NICU mortality using a team-based modeling competition.
Rationale And Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among hospitalized adults, but AKI prediction and prevention among adults has proved challenging. We used machine learning to update the nephrotoxic injury negated by just-in time action (NINJA), a pediatric program that predicts nephrotoxic AKI, to improve accuracy among adults.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Syncope, a form of transient loss of consciousness, remains a complex medical condition for which adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including death, are of major concern but rarely occur. Current risk stratification algorithms have not completely delineated which patients benefit from hospitalization and specific interventions. Patients are often admitted unnecessarily and at high cost.
