Abstract

Editor’s Perspective: What We Already Know about This Topic: What This Article Tells Us That Is New: Background: With appropriate algorithms, computers can learn to detect patterns and associations in large data sets. The authors’ goal was to apply machine learning to arterial pressure waveforms and create an algorithm to predict hypotension. The algorithm detects early alteration in waveforms that can herald the weakening of cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms affecting preload, afterload, and contractility. Methods: The algorithm was developed with two different data sources: (1) a retrospective cohort, used for training, consisting of 1,334 patients’ records with 545,959 min of arterial waveform recording and 25,461 episodes of hypotension; and (2) a prospective, local hospital cohort used for external validation, consisting of 204 patients’ records with 33,236 min of arterial waveform recording and 1,923 episodes of hypotension. The algorithm relates a large set of features calculated from the high-fidelity arterial pressure waveform to the prediction of an upcoming hypotensive event (mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg). Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis evaluated the algorithm’s success in predicting hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure less than 65 mmHg. Results: Using 3,022 individual features per cardiac cycle, the algorithm predicted arterial hypotension with a sensitivity and specificity of 88% (85 to 90%) and 87% (85 to 90%) 15 min before a hypotensive event (area under the curve, 0.95 [0.94 to 0.95]); 89% (87 to 91%) and 90% (87 to 92%) 10 min before (area under the curve, 0.95 [0.95 to 0.96]); 92% (90 to 94%) and 92% (90 to 94%) 5 min before (area under the curve, 0.97 [0.97 to 0.98]). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that a machine-learning algorithm can be trained, with large data sets of high-fidelity arterial waveforms, to predict hypotension in surgical patients’ records.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The Hypotension Prediction Index is an algorithm created to aid in the early detection of intraoperative hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg for non-cardiac surgeries.

    “The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI; Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) is an algorithm created to aid in the early detection of intraoperative hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg for non-cardiac surgeries (41, 43, 44).”
  • The Hypotension Prediction Index was developed using an ML, logistic regression-based model analyzing components of the arterial waveform.

    “It was developed using an ML, logistic regression-based model analyzing components of the arterial waveform (41, 43, 44).”
  • Multivariate regression-based models or AI-based early-warning systems have the potential to detect subtle trends in physiologic parameters over time to provide precision and reliability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
