American society of anesthesiologists physical status classification significantly affects the performances of machine learning models in intraoperative hypotension inference

J Clin AnesthPublished Observational study

Authors' conclusion

Different ASA physical status classes present different data distributions, and thus calls for distinct machine learning models to improve prediction accuracy and reduce predictive uncertainty.

Study context

Population
Hysterectomy surgeries in patients ≥18 years, UofL health hospital, June 2020–July 2021
Participants
562 hysterectomy surgeries
Exposure
Machine learning models (Bayesian generalized linear model (BGLM), Bayesian neural network (BNN), BNNMR, Gaussian Process (GP)) trained per American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class vs without controlling ASA class
Outcome
Sensitivity for binary hypotensive event, by ASA class
Methodological detailssingle-centre, machine learning prediction modelling
  • Single-centre
  • Machine learning prediction modelling

Width of 95% CI of mean SBP and DBP prediction

GP regression gives narrower CI with much smaller margin of error across all four ASA classes
