Prediction Models, Venous Thromboembolism
Conditions
Brief summary
Venous thromboembolism remains a leading cause of preventable mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Existing risk-stratification tools were developed in general medical populations and lack ICU-specific predictors. This study was to develop and validate an interpretable machine learning (ML) model to predict VTE in ICU patients.
