A quantitative approach for the analysis of clinician recognition of acute respiratory distress syndrome using electronic health record data.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Despite its efficacy, low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) remains severely underutilized for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Physician under-recognition of ARDS is a significant barrier to LTVV use. We propose a computational method that addresses some of the limitations of the current approaches to automated measurement of whether ARDS is recognized by physicians.

Objective

To quantify patient and physician factors affecting physicians' tidal volume selection and to build a computational model of physician recognition of ARDS that accounts for these factors.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cross-sectional study, electronic health record data were collected for 361 ARDS patients and 388 non-ARDS hypoxemic (control) patien
