ABSTRACT
In this study, we present a novel approach for predicting interventions for patients in the intensive care unit using a multivariate time series graph convolutional neural network. Our method addresses two critical challenges the need for timely and accurate decisions based on changing physiological signals, drug administration information, and static characteristics; and the need for interpretability in the decision-making process. Drawing on real-world ICU records from the MIMIC-III dataset, we demonstrate that our approach significantly improves upon existing machine learning and deep learning methods for predicting two targeted interventions, mechanical ventilation and vasopressors. Our model achieved an accuracy improvement from 81.6% to 91.9% and a F1 score improvement from 0.524 to 0.606 for predicting mechanical ventilation interventions. For predicting vasopressor interventions, our model achieved an accuracy improvement from 76.3% to 82.7% and a F1 score improvement from 0.509 to 0.619. We also assessed the interpretability by performing an adjacency matrix importance analysis, which revealed that our model uses clinically meaningful and appropriate features for prediction. This critical aspect can help clinicians gain insights into the underlying mechanisms of interventions, allowing them to make more informed and precise clinical decisions. Overall, our study represents a significant step forward in the development of decision support systems for ICU patient care, providing a powerful tool for improving clinical outcomes and enhancing patient safety.
