Abstract:Machine learning (ML) models for early identification of patients at risk of hospital-acquired bacteremia (HAB) may guide a preventive strategy of routine replacement of peripheral venous catheters (PVCs). The feasibility and cost-effectiveness of such an approach have not been evaluated.
In this study, we developed ML models for the preventive strategy of ML-guided routine replacement of PVCs and evaluated this strategy according to number needed to harm and incremental cost-effectiveness for preventing a HA… Show more
