We evaluated new features from biosignals comprising diverse physiological response information to predict the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV). We enrolled 89 patients who were candidates for weaning from MV in the intensive care unit and collected continuous biosignal data: electrocardiogram (ECG), respiratory impedance, photoplethysmogram (PPG), arterial blood pressure, and ventilator parameters during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). We compared the collected biosignal data’s variability between patients who successfully discontinued MV (n = 67) and patients who did not (n = 22). To evaluate the usefulness of the identified factors for predicting weaning success, we developed a machine learning model and evaluated its performance by bootstrapping. The following markers were different between the weaning success and failure groups: the ratio of standard deviations between the short-term and long-term heart rate variability in a Poincaré plot, sample entropy of ECG and PPG, α values of ECG, and respiratory impedance in the detrended fluctuation analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model was 0.81 (95% confidence interval: 0.70–0.92). This combination of the biosignal data-based markers obtained during SBTs provides a promising tool to assist clinicians in determining the optimal extubation time.
BACKGROUND Data collected by an actigraphy device worn on the wrist or waist can provide objective measurements for studies related to physical activity; however, some data may contain intervals where values are missing. In previous studies, statistical methods have been applied to impute missing values on the basis of statistical assumptions. Deep learning algorithms, however, can learn features from the data without any such assumptions and may outperform previous approaches in imputation tasks. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to impute missing values in data using a deep learning approach. METHODS To develop an imputation model for missing values in accelerometer-based actigraphy data, a denoising convolutional autoencoder was adopted. We trained and tested our deep learning–based imputation model with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data set and validated it with the external Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the Korean Chronic Cerebrovascular Disease Oriented Biobank data sets which consist of daily records measuring activity counts. The partial root mean square error and partial mean absolute error of the imputed intervals (partial RMSE and partial MAE, respectively) were calculated using our deep learning–based imputation model (zero-inflated denoising convolutional autoencoder) as well as using other approaches (mean imputation, zero-inflated Poisson regression, and Bayesian regression). RESULTS The zero-inflated denoising convolutional autoencoder exhibited a partial RMSE of 839.3 counts and partial MAE of 431.1 counts, whereas mean imputation achieved a partial RMSE of 1053.2 counts and partial MAE of 545.4 counts, the zero-inflated Poisson regression model achieved a partial RMSE of 1255.6 counts and partial MAE of 508.6 counts, and Bayesian regression achieved a partial RMSE of 924.5 counts and partial MAE of 605.8 counts. CONCLUSIONS Our deep learning–based imputation model performed better than the other methods when imputing missing values in actigraphy data.
