Predicting Acute Kidney Injury after Surgery.

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc

Published: July 2020

AI Article Synopsis

  • Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a frequent post-surgery complication, making it crucial for healthcare providers to identify at-risk patients early.
  • The study aims to create machine learning models that predict AKI using data from in-hospital patients who underwent various major surgical procedures in Calgary from 2008 to 2015.
  • Five different machine learning classifiers were tested, showing varying effectiveness in predicting AKI, with the best models achieving a sensitivity of 81-83% and a specificity of 43-85%, potentially allowing for timely treatment interventions.

Article Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common complication after surgery. Recognition of patients at risk of AKI at an earlier stage is a priority for researchers and health care providers. The objective of this study is to develop machine learning prediction models of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who undergo surgery. The dataset used in this study consists of in-hospital patients' data of five different cohorts coming from different major procedure types. This data was collected from the SunRiseClinical Manager (SCM) electronic medical records system that is used in the Calgary Zone, Alberta, Canada from 2008 to 2015 where the patients are >=18 years of age. Five classifiers were experimented with: support vector machine, random forest, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, and adaptive boosting. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) ranged between 0.62-0.84 and sensitivity and specificity ranged between 0.81-0.83 and 0.43-0.85, respectively. Predictions from these models can facilitate early intervention in AKI treatment.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hospitalized older patients, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30), a composite of death, new renal replacement therapy, or persistent renal dysfunction, has been recommended as a patient-centered endpoint for clinical trials involving AKI.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model to predict MAKE30 in hospitalized older patients with AKI.

Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in critically ill patients, affecting up to 50% of patients in the intensive care units. The lack of standardized and open-source tools for applying the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria to time series, requires researchers to implement classification algorithms of their own which is resource intensive and might impact study quality by introducing different interpretations of edge cases. This project introduces pyAKI, an open-source pipeline addressing this gap by providing a comprehensive solution for consistent KDIGO criteria implementation.

The photo-induced CO-releasing properties of the dark-stable complex [RuCl(CO)L] (L = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoxaline) were investigated under 468 nm light exposure in the presence and absence of biomolecules such as histidine, calf thymus DNA and hen egg white lysozyme. The CO release kinetics were consistent regardless of the presence of these biomolecules, suggesting that they did not influence the CO release mechanism. The quinoxaline ligand demonstrated exceptional cytotoxicity against human acute monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1), with evidence of potential DNA damage ascertained by comet assay, while it remained non-toxic to normal kidney epithelial cells derived from African green monkey (Vero) cell lines.

Only a few studies have examined the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza on clinical outcomes in pediatric patients. Furthermore, no meta-analysis has assessed the impact of these diseases on adverse outcomes. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 and influenza in pediatric patients.
