“…We applied change point detection (CPD) with conservative settings on the total power to divide cEEG data into homogeneous segments, that is, segments in which the EEG patterns remain constant. We then used an unsupervised affinity propagation plus bag‐of‐words–based model to cluster CPD‐segmented cEEG data from each patient into 30 to 50 clusters 15,16 Rapid manual cEEG annotation.…”

“…Rather, clustering was an intermediate step used as part of the process of gathering the labeled samples that were used to train the model in the final step, described next.

“…The cEEG data were then divided into 2‐second nonoverlapping segments. We then extracted several features in the spectral and time domains (eg, line length, kurtosis, entropy), as previously described 16 . To obtain information from the surrounding EEG, we also extracted these features in windows of 6, 10, and 14 seconds centered on each 2‐second segment.…”

This study was undertaken to determine the dose-response relation between epileptiform activity burden and outcomes in acutely ill patients. Methods: A single center retrospective analysis was made of 1,967 neurologic, medical, and surgical patients who underwent >16 hours of continuous electroencephalography (EEG) between 2011 and 2017. We developed an artificial intelligence algorithm to annotate 11.02 terabytes of EEG and quantify epileptiform activity burden within 72 hours of recording. We evaluated burden (1) in the first 24 hours of recording, (2) in the 12-hours epoch with highest burden (peak burden), and (3) cumulatively through the first 72 hours of monitoring. Machine learning was applied to estimate the effect of epileptiform burden on outcome. Outcome measure was discharge modified Rankin Scale, dichotomized as good (0-4) versus poor (5-6). Results: Peak epileptiform burden was independently associated with poor outcomes (p < 0.0001). Other independent associations included age, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, seizure on presentation, and diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Model calibration error was calculated across 3 strata based on the time interval between last EEG measurement (up to 72 hours of monitoring) and discharge: (1) <5 days between last measurement and discharge, 0.0941 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.0706-0.1191); 5 to 10 days between last measurement and discharge, 0.0946 (95% CI = 0.0631-0.1290); >10 days between last measurement and discharge, 0.0998 (95% CI = 0.0698-0.1335). After adjusting for covariates, increase in peak epileptiform activity burden from 0 to 100% increased the probability of poor outcome by 35%. Interpretation: Automated measurement of peak epileptiform activity burden affords a convenient, consistent, and quantifiable target for future multicenter randomized trials investigating whether suppressing epileptiform activity improves outcomes.

“…To do this, we need to first identify segments of the EEG signal containing seizure-like EA behavior. Doing this using human annotators would be extremely time consuming, so we use a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on human annotators' classifications of 10 second windows into non-EA and EA in a semi-supervised fashion (Ge et al, 2021b;Zafar et al, 2021;Jing et al, 2016). We use the predictions to compute EA time series (Z ω t ).…”

Many fundamental problems affecting the care of critically ill patients lead to similar analytical challenges: physicians cannot easily estimate the effects of at-risk medical conditions or treatments (which is problematic for treatment decisions) because the causal effects of medical conditions and drugs are entangled. They also cannot easily perform studies: there are not enough critically ill patients for high-dimensional observational causal inference analysis, and randomized controlled trials often cannot ethically be conducted. However, mechanistic knowledge is available, including how drugs are absorbed into the body, and the combination of this knowledge with the limited data could potentially suffice -if we knew how to combine them. In this work, we present a framework for interpretable estimation of causal effects for critically ill patients under exactly these complex conditions: interactions between drugs and observations over time, patient data sets that are not large, and mechanistic knowledge that can substitute for lack of data. Our framework incorporates pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics with interpretable matching methods to adjust for confounders such as patients' drug response, medical history, and demographic variables. We apply this framework to an extremely important problem affecting critically ill patients, namely the effect of seizures and other potentially harmful electrical events in the brain (called epileptiform activity -EA) on outcomes. EA is a key indicator of whether the patient will suffer long term severe
