      Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a severe public health threat due to their rapid progression into critical conditions like sepsis. This study presents a novel eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) framework to predict BSIs using historical electronic health records (EHRs). Leveraging a dataset from St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim, Norway, encompassing 35,591 patients, the framework integrates ...
    • Method for Designing Semantic Annotation of Sepsis Signs in Clinical Text 

      Yan, Melissa Y.; Gustad, Lise Tuset; Høvik, Lise Husby; Nytrø, Øystein (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Annotated clinical text corpora are essential for machine learning studies that model and predict care processes and disease progression. However, few studies describe the necessary experimental design of the annotation guideline and annotation phases. This makes replication, reuse, and adoption challenging. Using clinical questions about sepsis, we designed a semantic annotation guideline to ...

    • Predicting in-hospital death from derived EHR trajectory features 

      Bopche, Rajeev; Gustad, Lise Tuset; Afset, Jan Egil; Damås, Jan Kristian; Nytrø, Øystein (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Medical histories of patients can provide insight into the immediate future of a patient. While most studies propose to predict survival from vital signs and hospital tests within one episode of care, we carry out selective feature engineering from longitudinal historical medical records in this study to develop a dataset with derived features. We then train multiple machine learning models for the ...
