Deep learning model to identify and validate hypotension endotypes in surgical and critically ill patients

Br J AnaesthPublished Retrospective development and validation study of an unsupervised deep learning model

Authors' conclusion

Unsupervised deep learning identified four endotypes of hypotension in surgical and critically ill patients: vasodilation, hypovolaemia, myocardial depression, and bradycardia.

Study context

Population
Surgical and critically ill patients with hypotension (MAP <65 mm Hg for at least 1 min)
Outcome
Endotypes of hypotension based on stroke volume index, heart rate, systemic vascular resistance index and stroke volume variation during hypotensive episodes
Methodological detailsdeep learning autoencoder combined with Gaussian mixture model, two independent validation datasets
  • Deep learning autoencoder combined with Gaussian mixture model
  • Two independent validation datasets

Performance

As reported in the abstract

Hypotension endotypes (development dataset: 871 surgical patients, 6962 hypotensive events)
Four hypotension endotypes identified: vasodilation, hypovolaemia, myocardial depression, bradycardia

Further findings

Hypotension endotypes in validation datasets (1000 surgical patients, 7904 hypotensive events; 1000 critically ill patients, 53 821 hypotensive events)

Same four hypotension endotypes identified in both independent validation datasets
