Machine learning methods for perioperative anesthetic management in cardiac surgery patients: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Machine learning (ML) is developing fast with promising prospects within medicine and already has several applications in perioperative care. We conducted a scoping review to examine the extent and potential limitations of ML implementation in perioperative anesthetic care, specifically in cardiac surgery patients.

Methods

We mapped the current literature by searching three databases: MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), and Cochrane Library. Articles were eligible if they reported on perioperative ML use in the field of cardiac surgery with relevance to anesthetic practices. Data on the applicability of ML and comparability to conventional statistical methods were extracted.

Results

Forty-six articles on ML relevant to the work of the anesthesiologist in cardiac surgery were identified. Three main categories emerged: (I) event and risk prediction, (II) hemodynamic monitoring, and (III) automation of echocardiography. Prediction models based on ML tend to behave similarly to conventional statistical methods. Using dynamic hemodynamic or ultrasound data in ML models, however, shifts the potential to promising results.

Conclusions

ML in cardiac surgery is increasingly used in perioperative anesthetic management. The majority is used for prediction purposes similar to conventional clinical scores. Remarkable ML model performances are achieved when using real-time dynamic parameters. However, beneficial clinical outcomes of ML integration have yet to be determined. Nonetheless, the first steps introducing ML in perioperative anesthetic care for cardiac surgery have been taken.

Project description:BackgroundThe integration of machine learning (ML) in predicting asthma-related outcomes in children presents a novel approach in pediatric health care.ObjectiveThis scoping review aims to analyze studies published since 2019, focusing on ML algorithms, their applications, and predictive performances.MethodsWe searched Ovid MEDLINE ALL and Embase on Ovid, the Cochrane Library (Wiley), CINAHL (EBSCO), and Web of Science (core collection). The search covered the period from January 1, 2019, to July 18, 2023. Studies applying ML models in predicting asthma-related outcomes in children aged <18 years were included. Covidence was used for citation management, and the risk of bias was assessed using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool.ResultsFrom 1231 initial articles, 15 met our inclusion criteria. The sample size ranged from 74 to 87,413 patients. Most studies used multiple ML techniques, with logistic regression (n=7, 47%) and random forests (n=6, 40%) being the most common. Key outcomes included predicting asthma exacerbations, classifying asthma phenotypes, predicting asthma diagnoses, and identifying potential risk factors. For predicting exacerbations, recurrent neural networks and XGBoost showed high performance, with XGBoost achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.76. In classifying asthma phenotypes, support vector machines were highly effective, achieving an AUROC of 0.79. For diagnosis prediction, artificial neural networks outperformed logistic regression, with an AUROC of 0.63. To identify risk factors focused on symptom severity and lung function, random forests achieved an AUROC of 0.88. Sound-based studies distinguished wheezing from nonwheezing and asthmatic from normal coughs. The risk of bias assessment revealed that most studies (n=8, 53%) exhibited low to moderate risk, ensuring a reasonable level of confidence in the findings. Common limitations across studies included data quality issues, sample size constraints, and interpretability concerns.ConclusionsThis review highlights the diverse application of ML in predicting pediatric asthma outcomes, with each model offering unique strengths and challenges. Future research should address data quality, increase sample sizes, and enhance model interpretability to optimize ML utility in clinical settings for pediatric asthma management.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aims to construct and validate several machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict long-term mortality and identify risk factors in unselected patients post-cardiac surgery.MethodsThe Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III) database was used to perform a retrospective administrative database study. Candidate predictors consisted of the demographics, comorbidity, vital signs, laboratory test results, scoring systems, and treatment information on the first day of ICU admission. Four-year mortality was set as the study outcome. We used the ML methods of logistic regression (LR), artificial neural network (NNET), naïve bayes (NB), gradient boosting machine (GBM), adapting boosting (Ada), random forest (RF), bagged trees (BT), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). The prognostic capacity and clinical utility of these ML models were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultsOf 7,368 patients in MIMIC-III included in the final cohort, a total of 1,337 (18.15%) patients died during a 4-year follow-up. Among 65 variables extracted from the database, a total of 25 predictors were selected using recursive feature elimination and included in the subsequent analysis. The Ada model performed best among eight models in both discriminatory ability with the highest AUC of 0.801 and goodness of fit (visualized by calibration curve). Moreover, the DCA shows that the net benefit of the RF, Ada, and BT models surpassed that of other ML models for almost all threshold probability values. Additionally, through the Ada technique, we determined that red blood cell distribution width (RDW), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), SAPS II, anion gap (AG), age, urine output, chloride, creatinine, congestive heart failure, and SOFA were the Top 10 predictors in the feature importance rankings.ConclusionsThe Ada model performs best in predicting 4-year mortality after cardiac surgery among the eight ML models, which might have significant application in the development of early warning systems for patients following operations.

Project description:BackgroundElectronic health records provide the opportunity to identify undiagnosed individuals likely to have a given disease using machine learning techniques, and who could then benefit from more medical screening and case finding, reducing the number needed to screen with convenience and healthcare cost savings. Ensemble machine learning models combining multiple prediction estimates into one are often said to provide better predictive performances than non-ensemble models. Yet, to our knowledge, no literature review summarises the use and performances of different types of ensemble machine learning models in the context of medical pre-screening.MethodWe aimed to conduct a scoping review of the literature reporting the derivation of ensemble machine learning models for screening of electronic health records. We searched EMBASE and MEDLINE databases across all years applying a formal search strategy using terms related to medical screening, electronic health records and machine learning. Data were collected, analysed, and reported in accordance with the PRISMA scoping review guideline.ResultsA total of 3355 articles were retrieved, of which 145 articles met our inclusion criteria and were included in this study. Ensemble machine learning models were increasingly employed across several medical specialties and often outperformed non-ensemble approaches. Ensemble machine learning models with complex combination strategies and heterogeneous classifiers often outperformed other types of ensemble machine learning models but were also less used. Ensemble machine learning models methodologies, processing steps and data sources were often not clearly described.ConclusionsOur work highlights the importance of deriving and comparing the performances of different types of ensemble machine learning models when screening electronic health records and underscores the need for more comprehensive reporting of machine learning methodologies employed in clinical research.

Project description:BackgroundOpen heart surgeries are a common surgical approach among patients with heart disease. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common postoperative complications following cardiac surgeries, with an average incidence of 6 - 10%. Additionally, AKI has a mortality rate of 5 - 10%. One of the challenges of cardiac surgeries is selecting the appropriate anesthetic approaches to reduce the risk of AKI.ObjectivesThis study presents a machine learning-based method that consists of two regression models. These models can inform the anesthesiologist about the risk of AKI resulting from the improper selection of anesthetic parameters.MethodsIn this cohort study, the medical records of 998 patients who underwent cardiac surgery were collected. The proposed method includes two regression models. The first regression model recommends optimal anesthesia parameters to minimize the risk of AKI. The second model provides the anesthesiologist with the safest margin for deciding on anesthetic parameters during surgery, including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, anesthesia time, crystalloid dose, diuretic dose, and transfusion of packed red cells (PC) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Using this method, the specialist can evaluate the anesthetic parameters and assess the potential AKI risk. Additionally, the proposed method can also provide the treatment team with anesthetic parameters that carry the lowest risk of AKI.ResultsThis method was evaluated using data from 526 patients who suffered from postoperative AKI (AKI+) and 472 who did not suffer any injury (AKI-). The accuracy of the proposed method is 80.6%. Additionally, the evaluation of the proposed method by three experienced cardiac anesthesiologists shows a high correlation between the results of the proposed method and the opinions of the anesthesiologists.ConclusionsThe results indicated that the outputs of the proposed models and the designed software could help reduce the risk of postoperative AKI.

Project description:Protective ventilation is associated with a lower incidence of pulmonary complications. However, there are few published data on routine pulmonary management in adult cardiac surgery. The present study's primary objective was to survey pulmonary management in this high-risk population, as practiced by anesthesiologists in France. All 460 registered France-based cardiac anesthesiologists were invited (by e-mail) to participate in an online survey in January-February 2015. The survey's questionnaire was designed to assess current practice in pre-, per-, and postoperative pulmonary management. In all, 198 anesthesiologists (43% of those invited) participated in the survey. Other than during the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) per se, 179 anesthesiologists (91% of respondees) [95% confidence interval (CI): 87-95] used a low-tidal-volume approach (6-8 mL/kg), whereas techniques based on positive end-expiratory pressure and recruitment maneuvers vary greatly from 1 anesthesiologist to another. During CPB, 104 (53%) [95% CI: 46-60] anesthesiologists withdrew mechanical ventilation (with disconnection, in some cases) and 97 (49%) [95% CI: 42-56] did not prescribe positive end-expiratory pressure. One hundred sixty-five (83%) [95% CI: 78-88] anesthesiologists stated that a written protocol for peroperative pulmonary management was not available. Twenty (10%) [95% CI: 6-14] and 11 (5%) [95% CI: 2-8] anesthesiologists stated that they did use protocols for ventilator use and recruitment maneuvers, respectively. The preoperative period (pulmonary examinations and prescription of additional assessments) and the postoperative period (extubation, and noninvasive ventilation) periods vary greatly from 1 anesthesiologist to another. The great majority of French cardiac anesthesiologists use a low tidal volume during cardiac surgery (other than during CPB per se). However, pulmonary management procedures varied markedly from 1 anesthesiologist to another. There is a clear need for large clinical studies designed to identify best practice in pulmonary management.
