Prediction of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Using Shallow and Deep Learning

Diagnostics (Basel). 2021 Jul 13;11(7):1255. doi: 10.3390/diagnostics11071255.

Abstract

Sudden cardiac arrest can leave serious brain damage or lead to death, so it is very important to predict before a cardiac arrest occurs. However, early warning score systems including the National Early Warning Score, are associated with low sensitivity and false positives. We applied shallow and deep learning to predict cardiac arrest to overcome these limitations. We evaluated the performance of the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique Ratio. We evaluated the performance using a Decision Tree, a Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Long Short-Term Memory model, Gated Recurrent Unit model, and LSTM-GRU hybrid models. Our proposed Logistic Regression demonstrated a higher positive predictive value and sensitivity than traditional early warning systems.
