Machine learning based analysis and detection of trend outliers for electromyographic neuromuscular monitoring

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Machine learning model development study

Authors' conclusion

Engineered TOF-R trend features and the resulting Cost-Sensitive Logistic Regression (CSLR) models provide useful insights and serve as a potential first step towards the automated removal of outliers for neuromuscular monitoring devices.

Study context

Population
Patients under continuous intraoperative Electromyography (EMG)-based neuromuscular monitoring
Participants
136 vs 388
Comparison
Four machine learning models for TOFR outlier detection
  • Datex-Ohmeda EMG E-NMTn = 136
  • TetraGraphn = 388
Outcome
Discriminative performance of a feature set for TOFR outlier analysis
Methodological detailstwo device datasets combined into a synthetic set, four models trained
  • Two device datasets combined into a synthetic set
  • Four models trained

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Discriminative performance (model 1)

Model 1 F1 score (0.31, 0.50)

0.41

Model 1 average precision score, 95% CI (0.35, 0.60)

0.48

Further findings

Feature importance (random forest analysis)

Engineered Train-of-Four Ratio (TOF-R) features proportionally more influential in model performance than basic features
