BACKGROUND
Patient safety in the intensive care unit (ICU) is one of the most critical issues, and unplanned extubation (UE) is considered as the most adverse event for patient safety. Prevention and early detection of such an event is an essential but difficult component of quality care.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to develop and validate prediction models for UE in ICU patients using machine learning.
METHODS
This study was conducted an academic tertiary hospital in Seoul. The hospital had approximately 2,000 inpatient beds and 120 intensive care unit (ICU) beds. The number of patients, on daily basis, was approximately 9,000 for the out-patient. The number of annual ICU admission was approximately 10,000. We conducted a retrospective study between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2018. A total of 6,914 extubation cases were included. We developed an unplanned extubation prediction model using machine learning algorithms, which included random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), artificial neural network (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM). For evaluating the model’s performance, we used area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value negative predictive value, and F1-score were also determined for each model. For performance evaluation, we also used calibration curve, the Brier score, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic.
RESULTS
Among the 6,914 extubation cases, 248 underwent UE. In the UE group, there were more males than females, higher use of physical restraints, and fewer surgeries. The incidence of UE was more likely to occur during the night shift compared to the planned extubation group. The rate of reintubation within 24 hours and hospital mortality was higher in the UE group. The UE prediction algorithm was developed, and the AUROC for RF was 0.787, for LR was 0.762, for ANN was 0.762, and for SVM was 0.740.
CONCLUSIONS
We successfully developed and validated machine learning-based prediction models to predict UE in ICU patients using electronic health record data. The best AUROC was 0.787, which was obtained using RF.
