Federated machine learning for predicting acute kidney injury in critically ill patients: a multicenter study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To address the contentious data sharing across hospitals, this study adopted a novel approach, federated learning (FL), to establish an aggregate model for acute kidney injury (AKI) prediction in critically ill patients in Taiwan.

Methods

This study used data from the Critical Care Database of Taichung Veterans General Hospital (TCVGH) from 2015 to 2020 and electrical medical records of the intensive care units (ICUs) between 2018 and 2020 of four referral centers in different areas across Taiwan. AKI prediction models were trained and validated thereupon. An FL-based prediction model across hospitals was then established.

Results

The study included 16,732 ICU admissions from the TCVGH and 38,424 ICU admissions from the other four hospitals. The complete model
