The use of probabilistic graphical models in pediatric sepsis: a feasibility and scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent research has demonstrated that machine learning (ML) has the potential to improve several aspects of medical application for critical illness, including sepsis. This scoping review aims to evaluate the feasibility of probabilistic graphical model (PGM) methods in pediatric sepsis application and describe the use of pediatric sepsis definition in these studies.

Methods

Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL+), and Web of Sciences from 2000-2023. Keywords included "pediatric", "neonates", "infants", "machine learning", "probabilistic graphical model", and "sepsis".

Results

A total of 3,244 studies were screened, and 72 were included in this scoping review. Sepsis was define
