J Clin Monit ComputPublished Observational feasibility study

Study context

Population
ICU patients with bedside monitor physiologic data (ECG, ABP, CVP) and a chest accelerometer
Participants
10 patients
Exposure
With accelerometer vs Baseline model
Outcome
Prediction of events causing movement-related artifact
Methodological detailssmall study, accurately annotated clinical event data
  • Small study
  • Accurately annotated clinical event data

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

GLM: improved model fit with accelerometer data only for ANY Type, Turns, Bed Movement and Blood Sample
P < 0.01

Observational data: associations, not effects.
