Trauma & major bleeding

Prognosis of major bleeding based on residual variables and machine learning for critical patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A multicenter study

J Crit CarePublished Retrospective prognostic modelling study

Authors' conclusion

ML models using residuals improved the accuracy and interpretability in predicting major bleeding during ICU admission in patients with UGIB.
