Deviations in continuously monitored electrodermal activity before severe clinical complications: a clinical prospective observational explorative cohort study
Authors' conclusion
We identified statistically significant associations between specific deviations of EDA and subsequent SAE
Study context
- Population
- Patients on general wards after major abdominal cancer surgery or with acute exacerbation of COPD, continuously Electrodermal activity (EDA)-monitored for up to 5 days
- Participants
- 714 patients
- Outcome
- Any serious adverse events (SAE)
Methodological detailsexplorative
- Explorative
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Any SAE (EDA-derived features; 1, 3, 6 and 12 h time-perspectives)
- Statistically significant associations between EDA-derived features and clinical outcomes (total)
- 192
- Share of associations that were absolute and relative increases in EDA
- 79%
- Share of associations that were normalized EDA above a threshold
- 14%
- Highest F1-scores, primary outcome, four time-perspectives
- 20.7-32.8%
- Precision
- 34.9-38.6%
- Recall
- 14.7-29.4%
- Specificity
- 83.1-91.4%
Observational data: associations, not effects.
