A New Time-Window Prediction Model For Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock Based on Interpretable Machine Learning

Abstract

Early warning prediction of traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) can greatly reduce patient mortality and morbidity. We aimed to develop and validate models with different stepped feature sets to predict THS in advance. From the PLA General Hospital Emergency Rescue Database and Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III, we identified 604 and 1,614 patients, respectively. Two popular machine learning algorithms (i.e., extreme gradient boosting [XGBoost] and logistic regression) were applied. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to evaluate the performance of the models. By analyzing the feature importance based on XGBoost, we found that features in vital signs (VS), routine blood (RB), and blood gas analysis (BG) were the most relevant to THS (0.292, 0.249, and 0.225, respectively). Thus, the stepped relationships existing in them were revealed. Furthermore, the three stepped feature sets (i.e., VS, VS + RB, and VS + RB + sBG) were passed to the two machine learning algorithms to predict THS in the subsequent T hours (where T = 3, 2, 1, or 0.5), respectively. Results showed that the XGBoost model performance was significantly better than the logistic regression. The model using vital signs alone achieved good performance at the half-hour time window (AUROC = 0.935), and the performance was increased when laboratory results were added, especially when the time window was 1 h (AUROC = 0.950 and 0.968, respectively). These good-performing interpretable models demonstrated acceptable generalization ability in external validation, which could flexibly and rollingly predict THS T hours (where T = 0.5, 1) prior to clinical recognition. A prospective study is necessary to determine the clinical utility of the proposed THS prediction models.

The Diagnostic Value of Scanning in the Injury of Triceps Crus of Volleyball Players

“…Intervertebral disc is a fibrocartilage disc located between adjacent vertebral bodies, which has great elasticity and toughness. Due to the existence of intervertebral disc, the spine can perform forward flexion, backward extension, and lateral flexion [ 26 ]. The human lumbar intervertebral disc is the thickest, and the articular surface of the lumbar facet is almost sagittal, so the flexion and extension activities of the waist are flexible, but the rotation movement of the waist is limited, and the axial rotation range of the waist is small, only 5°.…”

Pulse Pressure: A Predictor of Intervention in Blunt Abdominal Trauma

“…12 If medical staff can identify the condition of traumatic massive hemorrhage early, intervene quickly, and actively adjust the treatment strategy, the disability and mortality rate due to massive traumatic hemorrhage may be reduced, and outcomes of severe trauma may be improved. 13 Blood transfusions are frequently administered during the resuscitation of severely wounded combat casualties, especially within the rst 6 to 12 hours, when death from hemorrhage is most likely to occur. [14][15][16][17] The classic de nition of massive transfusion (MT) was de ned during the Vietnam War as the transfusion of 10 units of blood in a 24-hour period.…”

A prediction model for massive hemorrhage in trauma: a retrospective observational study

“…Without intervention, the patients can develop sequential organ failure, coagulation dysfunction, and even death due to insufficient blood perfusion in a short time. If medical staff can identify the condition of traumatic massive hemorrhage early, intervene quickly, and actively adjust the treatment strategy, the disability and mortality rate due to massive traumatic hemorrhage may be reduced, and outcomes of severe trauma may be improved [ 5 ].…”
