Deep Learning Based Sepsis Intervention: The Modelling and Prediction of Severe Sepsis Onset
Auto-TLDR; Predicting Sepsis onset by up to six hours prior using a boosted cascading training methodology and adjustable margin hinge loss function
Abstract Slides Poster Similar
Sepsis presents a significant challenge to healthcare providers during critical care scenarios such as within an intensive care unit. The prognosis of the onset of severe septic shock results in significant increases in mortality rate, length of stay and readmission rates. Continual advancements in health informatics data allows for applications within the machine learning field to predict sepsis onset in a timely manner, allowing for effective preventative intervention of severe septic shock. A novel deep learning application is proposed to provide effective prediction of sepsis onset by up to six hours prior, involving the use of novel concepts such as a boosted cascading training methodology and adjustable margin hinge loss function. The proposed methodology provides statistically significant improvements to that of current machine learning based modelling applications based off the Physionet Computing in Cardiology 2019 challenge. Results show test F1 scores of 0.420, a significant improvement of 0.281 as compared to the next best challenger results.
