Development and validation of an early warning model for hospitalized COVID-19 patients
A multi-center retrospective cohort study
Background: Timely identification of deteriorating COVID-19 patients is needed to guide changes in clinical management and admission to intensive care units (ICUs). There is significant concern that widely used Early warning scores (EWSs) underestimate illness severity in COVID-1

The future of artificial intelligence in intensive care
Moving from predictive to actionable AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) research in the intensive care unit (ICU) mainly focuses on developing models (from linear regression to deep learning) to predict out-
comes, such as mortality or sepsis [1, 2]. However, there is another important aspect of AI that is typically not f

Dynamic prediction of mortality in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit
A retrospective multi-center cohort study
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to overwhelm intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide, and improved prediction of mortality among COVID-19 patients could assist decision making in the ICU setting. In this work, we report on the development and validation of a dynamic mor

Causal inference using observational intensive care unit data
A scoping review and recommendations for future practice
This scoping review focuses on the essential role of models for causal inference in shaping actionable artificial intelligence (AI) designed to aid clinicians in decision-making. The objective was to identify and evaluate the reporting quality of studies introducing models for ca

Using forest-based models to personalise ventilation treatment in the ICU
Optimising positive end-expiratory pressure assignment based on the MIMIC-IV dataset
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is one of the components of mechanical ventilation treatment for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Correct PEEP level can reduce additional lung injuries sustained during the hospitalisation, significantly increasing

Machine Learning for Personalized Respiratory Care
A DR-learner Approach to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Effect Estimation
Mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a critical intervention for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with acute respiratory failure. Identifying the optimal PEEP level is challenging due to conflicting evidence from studies comparing low and

Optimizing Mechanical Ventilation Support for Patients in Intensive Care Units
An Analysis of Deep Learning Methods for Personalizing Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Regime
In the intensive care unit (ICU), optimizing mechanical ventilation settings, particularly the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), is crucial for patient survival. This paper investigates the application of neural network-based machine learning methods to personalize PEEP se

Individualized treatment effect prediction for Mechanical Ventilation
Using Causal Multi-task Gaussian Process to estimate the individualized treatment effect of a low vs high PEEP regime on ICU patients
This research investigates the use of Causal Multi-task Gaussian Process (CMGP) for estimating the individualized treatment effect (ITE) of low versus high Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) regimes on ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The study addresses the co

Personalizing Treatment for Intensive Care Unit Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Comparing the S-, T-, and X-learner to Estimate the Conditional Average Treatment Effect for High versus Low Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation is a vital supportive measure for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the intensive care unit. An important setting in the ventilator is the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), which can reduce lung stress but may also cause har
