ICU Bloodstream Infection Prediction: A Transformer-Based Approach for EHR Analysis

arXiv:2405.00819v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce RatchetEHR, a novel transformer-based framework designed for the predictive analysis of electronic health records (EHR) data in intensive care unit (ICU) settings, with a specific focus on bloodstream infection (BSI) prediction. Leveraging the MIMIC-IV dataset, RatchetEHR demonstrates superior predictive performance compared to other methods, including RNN, LSTM, and XGBoost, particularly due to its advanced handling of sequential and temporal EHR data. A key innovation in RatchetEHR is the integration of the Graph Convolutional …
