ICU sedation, delirium & recovery

Deep Learning–Based Recurrent Delirium Prediction in Critically Ill Patients

Crit Care MedPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our delirium prediction model achieved strong performance by applying deep learning to a dataset that is at least one order of magnitude larger than those used in previous studies.

Study context

Population
Adult ICU admissions in 15 medical-surgical ICUs, Alberta, Canada, 2014–2020
Participants
38,426 participants · 43,510 ICU admissions
Outcome
Prediction of delirium episodes in the next 12-hour periods (0-12 and 12-24 hr), from 24 hr after ICU admission
