Zhou L, Shao M, Wang C, Wang Y. An early sepsis prediction model utilizing machine learning and unbalanced data processing in a clinical context. Prev Med Rep 2024; 45:102841. [PMID: 39188971 PMCID: PMC11345914 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2024.102841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Early and accurate diagnoses of sepsis patients are essential to reduce the mortality. However, the sepsis is still diagnosed in a traditional way in China despite the increasing number of related studies, which may to some extent lead to delays in the treatment. Methods The study included 2,385 patients, including 364 with sepsis, collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and partner hospitals from April to July 2022. External validation was conducted using the MIMIC-III database (over 60,000 patients from 2001 to 2012) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (139,000 patients from 2014 to 2015). Multiple algorithm models, along with the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis, are applied to explore the main risk factors for the accurate prediction of the sepsis. Multiple Imputations for filling missing data and the Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE) balancing method for balancing data are used for the data processing. Result Eighteen diagnostic features are used in the predictive model for early sepsis. The Random Forest model has the best performance among all the models, with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 87% and an F1-score (F1) of 77%. Moreover, the interpretation from the SHAP analysis is generally consistent with the current clinical situation. Conclusion The study revealed the relationship between these 18 clinical features and diagnostic outcomes. The results indicate that patients with laboratory values of Systolic Blood Pressure, Albumin, and Heart Rate exceeding certain thresholds are at a high likelihood of developing sepsis.

Identifying acute illness phenotypes via deep temporal interpolation and clustering network on physiologic signatures. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8442. [PMID: 38600110 PMCID: PMC11006654 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59047-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Using clustering analysis for early vital signs, unique patient phenotypes with distinct pathophysiological signatures and clinical outcomes may be revealed and support early clinical decision-making. Phenotyping using early vital signs has proven challenging, as vital signs are typically sampled sporadically. We proposed a novel, deep temporal interpolation and clustering network to simultaneously extract latent representations from irregularly sampled vital signs and derive phenotypes. Four distinct clusters were identified. Phenotype A (18%) had the greatest prevalence of comorbid disease with increased prevalence of prolonged respiratory insufficiency, acute kidney injury, sepsis, and long-term (3-year) mortality. Phenotypes B (33%) and C (31%) had a diffuse pattern of mild organ dysfunction. Phenotype B's favorable short-term clinical outcomes were tempered by the second highest rate of long-term mortality. Phenotype C had favorable clinical outcomes. Phenotype D (17%) exhibited early and persistent hypotension, high incidence of early surgery, and substantial biomarker incidence of inflammation. Despite early and severe illness, phenotype D had the second lowest long-term mortality. After comparing the sequential organ failure assessment scores, the clustering results did not simply provide a recapitulation of previous acuity assessments. This tool may impact triage decisions and have significant implications for clinical decision-support under time constraints and uncertainty.

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: recent advances in enrichment strategies, sub-phenotyping and clinical trials. Crit Care 2024; 28:92. [PMID: 38515121 PMCID: PMC10958912 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04877-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) often complicates sepsis and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, several important clinical trials have improved our understanding of sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) and impacted clinical care. Advances in sub-phenotyping of sepsis and AKI and clinical trial design offer unprecedented opportunities to fill gaps in knowledge and generate better evidence for improving the outcome of critically ill patients with SA-AKI. In this manuscript, we review the recent literature of clinical trials in sepsis with focus on studies that explore SA-AKI as a primary or secondary outcome. We discuss lessons learned and potential opportunities to improve the design of clinical trials and generate actionable evidence in future research. We specifically discuss the role of enrichment strategies to target populations that are most likely to derive benefit and the importance of patient-centered clinical trial endpoints and appropriate trial designs with the aim to provide guidance in designing future trials.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is the predominant complication affecting elderly patients following major surgery, yet its prediction and prevention remain challenging. Understanding biological processes underlying the pathogenesis of POCD is essential for identifying mechanistic biomarkers to advance diagnostics and therapeutics. This longitudinal study involving 26 elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery aimed to characterize the impact of peripheral immune cell responses to surgical trauma on POCD. Trajectory analyses of single-cell mass cytometry data highlighted early JAK/STAT signaling exacerbation and diminished MyD88 signaling post-surgery in patients who developed POCD. Further analyses integrating single-cell and plasma proteomic data collected before surgery with clinical variables yielded a sparse predictive model that accurately identified patients who would develop POCD (AUC = 0.80). The resulting POCD immune signature included one plasma protein and ten immune cell features, offering a concise list of biomarker candidates for developing point-of-care prognostic tests to personalize perioperative management of at-risk patients. The code and the data are documented and available at https://github.com/gregbellan/POCD . Teaser Modeling immune cell responses and plasma proteomic data predicts postoperative cognitive decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a leading comorbidity in admissions to the intensive care unit. While a gold standard definition exists, it remains imperfect and does not allow for the timely identification of patients in the setting of critical illness. This review will discuss the use of biochemical and electronic biomarkers to allow for prognostic and predictive enrichment of patients with sepsis-associated AKI over and above the use of serum creatinine and urine output. SUMMARY Current data suggest that several biomarkers are capable of identifying patients with sepsis at risk for the development of severe AKI and other associated morbidity. This review discusses these data and these biomarkers in the setting of sub-phenotyping and endotyping sepsis-associated AKI. While not all these tests are widely available and some require further validation, in the near future we anticipate several new tools to help nephrologists and other providers better care for patients with sepsis-associated AKI. KEY MESSAGES Predictive and prognostic enrichment using both traditional biomarkers and novel biomarkers in the setting of sepsis can identify subsets of patients with either similar outcomes or similar pathophysiology, respectively. Novel biomarkers can identify kidney injury in patients without consensus definition AKI (e.g., changes in creatinine or urine output) and can predict other adverse outcomes (e.g., severe consensus definition AKI, inpatient mortality). Finally, emerging artificial intelligence and machine learning-derived risk models are able to predict sepsis-associated AKI in critically ill patients using advanced learning techniques and several laboratory and vital sign measurements.

Abstract
Heterogeneity in sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is increasingly being recognized as one of the principal barriers to finding efficacious targeted therapies. The advent of multiple high-throughput biological data ("omics"), coupled with the widespread access to increased computational power, has led to the emergence of phenotyping in critical care. Phenotyping aims to use a multitude of data to identify homogenous subgroups within an otherwise heterogenous population. Increasingly, phenotyping schemas are being applied to sepsis and ARDS to increase understanding of these clinical conditions and identify potential therapies. Here we present a selective review of the biological phenotyping schemas applied to sepsis and ARDS. Further, we outline some of the challenges involved in translating these conceptual findings to bedside clinical decision-making tools.
