Objective: This study describes the design and evaluation of volunteer user trials of an unobtrusive Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) vital sign sensing system in older participants aged 60 years and older in different home environments. Methods and procedures: In terms of experiment design, the implementation of user-centric sensor placement and integration informed consent with various experimental elements in the design of experiments of older people. The implemented signal processing algorithm, which extracts vital signs from the Wi-Fi CSI signal to obtain respiration and heart rate measurements, employs wavelet filtering techniques. For selecting of vital sign signals from the 52 CSI subcarriers, the Principal Component Sample Entropy (PC-SampEn) was implemented to capture the information most relevant to vital signs.Results: Two cardiorespiratory vital sign measurements were validated against wearable ground-truth devices, a respiratory belt and a photoplethysmogram (PPG). The results demonstrated an expected decrease in accuracy and measurement agreement in uncontrolled home environments.Conclusion: Although respiratory rate measurements have demonstrated promising accuracy and agreement in uncontrolled environments, heart rate measurements observed high variability in these scenarios due to challenging signal extraction. Further experiments must be conducted to address the limitation in sample size and the technical challenges in heart rate signal extraction to improve accuracy. Clinical and Translational Impact: This study provides a design of unobtrusive care technology for vital sign sensing for older adults, demonstrated and evaluated in the context of in-home monitoring for healthcare.
目的:本研究描述了一种不显眼的Wi-Fi信道状态信息(CSI)生命体征感知系统的志愿者用户试验的设计和评估,该系统在不同的家庭环境中对60岁及以上的老年参与者进行了试验。方法和步骤:在实验设计方面,在老年人实验设计中,实施以用户为中心的传感器放置,并将知情同意与各种实验元素相结合。所实现的信号处理算法采用小波滤波技术,从Wi-Fi CSI信号中提取生命体征以获得呼吸和心率测量值。为了从52个CSI子载波中选择生命体征信号,采用主成分样本熵(PC-SampEn)方法捕获与生命体征最相关的信息。结果:两项心肺生命体征测量与可穿戴的地面真实装置、呼吸带和光容积描记图(PPG)进行了验证。结果表明,在不受控制的家庭环境中,准确度和测量一致性预期会下降。结论:尽管呼吸频率测量在不受控制的环境中显示出了良好的准确性和一致性,但由于具有挑战性的信号提取,心率测量在这些情况下观察到高变异性。为了提高心率信号提取的准确性,必须进行进一步的实验来解决样本量的限制和技术挑战。临床和转化影响:本研究为老年人生命体征感知提供了一种不显眼的护理技术设计,并在医疗保健家庭监测的背景下进行了演示和评估。

Objective: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is essential for managing medication dosages in critically ill patients, particularly for antibiotics such as vancomycin. The dynamic physiological conditions of critically ill patients require frequent monitoring of vancomycin levels to ensure therapeutic therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Traditional Bayesian methods and pharmacokinetic (PK) models often fail because of the complex and unpredictable nature of these patients’ conditions, as well as the limitations of standard PK modeling.Methods and procedures: This study aimed to establish a gated recurrent unit (GRU)-integrated joint multilayer perceptron network (GointMLP) model to predict sequential vancomycin TDM levels in patients in the intensive care unit. The proposed model consists of three modules to maintain consistent therapeutic vancomycin concentrations while accommodating individual patient differences. By integrating regression and classification predictions, GointMLP provides a dual mechanism for clinicians to verify the reliability of predicted values for informed decision-making. Additionally, we have developed DeepTDM, a comprehensive decision support system designed for real-time vancomycin dose optimization to enhance clinical outcomes.Results: The GointMLP provides more accurate predictions compared to traditional PK models and other machine learning/deep learning approaches. This superior performance is demonstrated not only in local validation cohorts but also in the ethnically diverse MIMIC-IV dataset, validating the model’s robust generalizability.Conclusion: This work addresses the limitations of current methodologies while leveraging advancements in deep learning techniques, particularly demonstrating the effectiveness of GointMLP in enhancing patient outcomes through precise TDM. Efforts are underway to integrate DeepTDM into clinical practice, with the anticipation that it will not only support clinicians in decision-making but also substantially improve therapeutic outcomes for patients undergoing vancomycin therapy. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: The proposed model and software enable individualized vancomycin dosing for critically ill patients, improving precision dosing and supporting seamless integration into clinical workflows
目的:治疗性药物监测(TDM)对于管理危重患者的用药剂量至关重要,特别是对于万古霉素等抗生素。危重患者的动态生理状况需要经常监测万古霉素水平,以确保治疗效果,同时尽量减少毒性。传统的贝叶斯方法和药代动力学(PK)模型往往失败,因为这些患者病情的复杂性和不可预测性,以及标准的PK模型的局限性。方法和步骤:本研究旨在建立一个门控复发单元(GRU)-集成联合多层感知器网络(GointMLP)模型来预测重症监护病房患者万古霉素TDM的顺序水平。提出的模型由三个模块组成,以保持一致的万古霉素治疗浓度,同时适应个体患者的差异。通过整合回归和分类预测,GointMLP为临床医生提供了双重机制,以验证预测值的可靠性,从而做出明智的决策。此外,我们还开发了DeepTDM,这是一个全面的决策支持系统,旨在实时优化万古霉素剂量,以提高临床疗效。结果:与传统PK模型和其他机器学习/深度学习方法相比,GointMLP提供了更准确的预测。这种优越的性能不仅在本地验证队列中得到了证明,而且在种族多样化的MIMIC-IV数据集中也得到了证明,验证了模型的鲁棒泛化性。结论:这项工作解决了当前方法的局限性,同时利用了深度学习技术的进步,特别是证明了GointMLP通过精确的TDM提高患者预后的有效性。人们正在努力将DeepTDM整合到临床实践中,期望它不仅能支持临床医生的决策,还能大大改善接受万古霉素治疗的患者的治疗效果。临床和转化影响声明:拟议的模型和软件可以为危重患者提供个性化的万古霉素剂量,提高精确剂量,并支持与临床工作流程的无缝集成

Objective: To examine how early pathophysiological changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affect navigational decision-making by analyzing the complexity of driving routes in older adults with and without preclinical AD. Methods: We developed a novel route complexity metric based on the number of left and right turns and the deviation from the most direct path, accounting for cognitive load during navigation. Naturalistic GPS driving data were collected for a year from 111 older adults aged 65–85, with preclinical AD status determined via cerebrospinal fluid amyloid biomarkers. A multiple linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between age, preclinical AD status, and route complexity. Results: The findings of this study indicate that preclinical AD may influence the navigational abilities of older adults. After controlling for age, participants with preclinical AD chose routes with higher baseline complexity than the control group. It further revealed that participants with preclinical AD selected routes with lower complexity as they aged—a trend not observed in healthy controls. Conclusion: Preclinical AD is associated with changes in spatial decision-making that are observable in real-world driving behaviours. The age-related decline in route complexity among those with preclinical AD may reflect compensatory strategies or progressive cognitive changes. Clinical Impact: This study presents a non-invasive, behaviour-based metric that could support early detection of cognitive decline. It may also inform the design of personalized mobility interventions and dementia-friendly mobility systems.
目的:通过分析老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者和非老年阿尔茨海默病患者驾驶路线的复杂性,探讨老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者早期病理生理变化对导航决策的影响。方法:在考虑认知负荷的情况下,提出了一种基于左、右转弯次数和偏离最直接路径的路径复杂度度量方法。该研究收集了111名年龄在65-85岁之间的老年人一年的自然GPS驾驶数据,通过脑脊液淀粉样蛋白生物标志物确定其临床前AD状态。采用多元线性回归模型评估年龄、临床前AD状态和路径复杂性之间的关系。结果:本研究结果提示临床前AD可能影响老年人的导航能力。在控制了年龄后,临床前AD患者选择的路线比对照组具有更高的基线复杂性。它进一步揭示了临床前AD患者随着年龄的增长选择了复杂性较低的路线——这一趋势在健康对照组中没有观察到。结论:临床前AD与现实驾驶行为中可观察到的空间决策变化有关。在临床前AD患者中,与年龄相关的路径复杂性下降可能反映了代偿策略或进行性认知变化。临床影响:本研究提出了一种非侵入性的、基于行为的指标,可以支持早期发现认知能力下降。它还可以为个性化行动干预措施和痴呆症友好行动系统的设计提供信息。

Objective: The detection of heart abnormalities using electrocardiograms (ECG) is a critical task in medical diagnostics. A lot of literature has utilized ResNet and Transformer architectures to detect heart disease based on ECG signals. Recently, a new class of algorithms has emerged, challenging these established methods. A selective state space model (SSM) called Mamba has exhibited promising potential as an alternative to Transformers due to its efficient handling of longer sequences. In this context, we propose a Mamba-based model for detecting heart abnormalities, named ECG-Mamba. Recognizing that common data augmentation methods such as MixUp and CutMix do not perform well with Mamba on ECG data, we introduce a data augmentation technique called non-uniform-mix to enhance the model’s performance.Methods and procedures: ECG-Mamba is based on Vision Mamba (Vim), a variant of Mamba that utilizes a bidirectional SSM, enhancing its capability to process ECG data effectively. To address the sensitivity of the Mamba model to noise and the lack of suitable data augmentation techniques, we propose a data augmentation algorithm that conservatively introduces data augmentation by performing non-uniform operations on the dataset across different epochs. Specifically, we apply MixUp to a portion of the dataset in different epochs.Results: Experimental results indicate that ECG-Mamba outperforms the best algorithms in the PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology (CinC) Challenges of 2020 and 2021 based on the AUPRC and AUROC, specifically with ECG-Mamba achieving an AUPRC score 16.6% higher than the best algorithm in the PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2021 on 12-lead ECGs, reaching 0.61. Moreover, with the proposed data augmentation method Non-Uniform-Mix, ECG-Mamba’s AUPRC reached 0.6271, representing a 2.8% improvement.Conclusion: The ECG-Mamba model, based on the SSM, demonstrates potential in detecting cardiac abnormalities from ECG data. Although the model surpasses existing algorithms, it exhibits sensitivity to noise, requiring careful data augmentation. The proposed conservative data augmentation technique addresses this challenge and improves the model’s performance, suggesting a promising direction for future research in ECG analysis using SSMs. The implementation is publicly available at https://huggingface.co/poult/ECGMambaVersionOfJTEHM2020-2021_final.Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: ECG-Mamba enhances heart abnormality detection, enabling early diagnosis and personalised treatment in resource-limited and telemedicine settings. Using real-world data from the PhysioNet/CinC Challenges 2020 and 2021, it accurately models multiple concurrent cardiac conditions, reflecting complex clinical scenarios. Its conservative Non-Uniform-Mix augmentation mitigates noise sensitivity, improving accuracy and reliability for seamless integration into clinical workflows, thus supporting evidence-based practice and addressing healthcare disparities.
目的:利用心电图检测心脏异常是医学诊断中的一项重要任务。许多文献利用ResNet和Transformer架构来检测基于心电信号的心脏病。最近,一类新的算法出现了,挑战这些既定的方法。选择性状态空间模型(SSM)称为曼巴已经显示出有希望的潜力,作为替代变形金刚由于其有效的处理较长的序列。在这种情况下,我们提出了一种基于曼巴的检测心脏异常的模型,称为ecg -曼巴。认识到常见的数据增强方法如MixUp和CutMix在曼巴心电图数据上表现不佳,我们引入了一种称为非均匀混合的数据增强技术来提高模型的性能。方法和步骤:ECG-Mamba是基于视觉曼巴(Vim),曼巴的一种变体,利用双向SSM,增强其有效处理ECG数据的能力。为了解决曼巴模型对噪声的敏感性和缺乏合适的数据增强技术,我们提出了一种数据增强算法,该算法通过在不同时代的数据集上执行非均匀操作来保守地引入数据增强。具体来说,我们将MixUp应用于不同时代的部分数据集。结果:实验结果表明,在基于AUPRC和AUROC的2020年和2021年的PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology (cinology)挑战赛中,ECG-Mamba的表现优于最佳算法,特别是在12联头心电图上,ECG-Mamba的AUPRC得分比最佳算法高出16.6%,达到0.61。此外,采用本文提出的数据增强方法Non-Uniform-Mix, ECG-Mamba的AUPRC达到0.6271,提高2.8%。结论:基于SSM的ECG- mamba模型显示了从ECG数据检测心脏异常的潜力。尽管该模型超越了现有的算法,但它对噪声很敏感,需要仔细地增强数据。所提出的保守数据增强技术解决了这一挑战,提高了模型的性能,为使用ssm进行心电分析的未来研究提供了一个有希望的方向。该技术的实施可在https://huggingface.co/poult/ECGMambaVersionOfJTEHM2020-2021_final.Clinical和转化影响声明中公开获得:ECG-Mamba增强了心脏异常检测,使资源有限和远程医疗环境中的早期诊断和个性化治疗成为可能。使用来自PhysioNet/CinC挑战2020和2021的真实世界数据,它准确地模拟了多种并发心脏病,反映了复杂的临床场景。其保守的非均匀混合增强功能减轻了噪声敏感性,提高了与临床工作流程无缝集成的准确性和可靠性,从而支持循证实践并解决医疗保健差异。

Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis relies on the evaluation of motor and non-motor symptoms, with gait abnormalities serving as a key marker for early detection. Traditional clinical assessment often relies on visual gait analysis, which is a subjective process prone to bias. This study introduces a PD severity classification method that leverages gait features. Methods: A Spatial-temporal Convolutional neural network-Transformer (ST-CNN-Transformer) model for PD severity classification was established. Multimodal gait data, including foot acceleration, angular velocity, and Vertical Ground Reaction Force (VGRF), were collected in collaboration with Xiangyang First People’s Hospital, Hubei Province. Zero-velocity points (ZVPs) were detected using the Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT), and gait cycle features were extracted from inertial measurement unit data for precise segmentation. The ST-CNN-Transformer model captures spatial-temporal features and periodic correlations. Results: Evaluation on a dataset comprising 10 healthy controls and 30 PD patients yielded a classification accuracy of 98.81%, surpassing existing gait-based methods for PD severity classification. Conclusion: This study introduces a deep learning (DL) approach to automating PD severity classification by integrating ZVP and gait segmentation derived from multimodal data. The proposed model significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy. Significance: By combining DL with GLRT-based gait segmentation and multimodal gait analysis, this study proposes a robust and interpretable PD severity assessment framework that contributes to more accurate and objective clinical decision-making.
目的:帕金森病(PD)的诊断依赖于对运动和非运动症状的评估,步态异常是早期发现的关键标志。传统的临床评估往往依赖于视觉步态分析,这是一个容易产生偏差的主观过程。本研究介绍了一种利用步态特征的PD严重程度分类方法。方法:建立时空卷积神经网络-变压器(ST-CNN-Transformer) PD严重程度分类模型。与湖北省襄阳第一人民医院合作,收集了多模式步态数据,包括足部加速度、角速度和垂直地面反作用力(VGRF)。采用广义似然比检验(GLRT)检测零速度点,提取惯性测量单元数据的步态周期特征进行精确分割。ST-CNN-Transformer模型捕获了时空特征和周期性相关性。结果:对包含10名健康对照和30名PD患者的数据集进行评估,分类准确率为98.81%,超过了现有的基于步态的PD严重程度分类方法。结论:本研究引入了一种深度学习(DL)方法,通过整合来自多模态数据的ZVP和步态分割来实现PD严重程度的自动化分类。该模型显著提高了诊断准确率。意义:通过将深度学习与基于glrt的步态分割和多模态步态分析相结合,本研究提出了一个鲁棒性和可解释性的PD严重程度评估框架,有助于更准确、客观的临床决策。

Objective: Advancing microcirculatory perfusion assessment methods is crucial for evaluating organ status during ex-vivo organ preservation and expanding the donor pool. This study demonstrates the feasibility of microcirculatory perfusion imaging in an ex-vivo liver model under normothermic machine perfusion, using two non-contact imaging techniques: laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI).Methods and procedures: An ex-vivo porcine liver was perfused with oxygenated blood for 3 hours. Blood samples were collected every 30 minutes from the hepatic artery and portal vein to evaluate the liver’s overall status. Each of the five liver lobes was imaged every 15 minutes using both the in-house developed LDPI and wireless LSCI devices. Temporally averaged perfusion maps were analyzed to assess spatiotemporal blood flow. Then, correlations between LDPI and LSCI perfusion indices were evaluated.Results: Spatiotemporal perfusion images showed detailed superficial microcirculatory perfusion across five imaged lobes. High correlations between LDPI and LSCI indices were observed in lobes $3-5$ ( ${R}^{2}=0.81$ ), which were well-perfused. Blood lactate levels increased over time, indicating a shift in metabolic activity due to ischemia. Also, correlation of LSCI perfusion indices with pH ( ${R}^{2}_{max .}=0.95$ ) was observed.Conclusion: The ex-vivo liver model mimics in-vivo perfusion under controlled experimental conditions. LDPI and LSCI provide rapid, independent assessments of local microcirculatory blood flow, demonstrate a high inter-technique correlation, and reflect the overall deterioration of liver status, as evidenced by blood gas parameters.Significance: A compact, wireless LSCI system—validated against LDPI—enables non-invasive evaluation of microcirculatory status and serves as a complementary tool for assessing deep tissue viability. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement—We introduce a wireless, compact, and non-contact LSCI system (validated by LDPI) enabling microcirculatory assessment during machine perfusion, complementing deep tissue medical imaging methods and blood gas analysis to enhance organ viability evaluation and support pre-transplantation treatment decisions (Category: Pre-Clinical Research).

Background: Accurate identification of bone metastases in lung cancer is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. However, existing methods for detecting bone metastases face significant limitations, particularly in whole-body bone scans, due to low resolution, blurred boundaries, and the variability in lesion shapes and sizes, which challenge traditional convolutional neural networks. Purpose: To accurately isolate the metastasized lesions from whole-body bone scans, we propose a lesion-aware segmentation model using deep learning techniques. Methods: The proposed model integrates lesion boundary-guided strategies, multi-scale learning, and image shape guidance into an encoder-decoder architecture network. This approach significantly improves segmentation performance in low-resolution and blurred boundary conditions while effectively managing lesion shape variability and mitigating interference from the rectangular format of the images. Results: Experimental evaluations conducted on clinical data of 274 whole-body bone scans demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a 7.45% improvement in the Dice Similarity Coefficient and a 11.75% improvement in Recall compared to specialized segmentation models for whole-body bone scans, achieving significant improvements and balanced performance across key metrics. Conclusions: This model offers a more accurate and efficient solution for identifying bone metastases in lung cancer, alleviating the challenges of deep learning-based automated analysis of low-resolution, large-size medical images of whole-body bone scans. The code is available at https://github.com/carorange/segmentation Clinical and Impact: This lesion-aware deep learning model provides a robust, automated solution for identifying bone metastases in low-resolution, large-scale whole-body bone scans, enabling earlier and more accurate clinical decisions and potentially improving patient outcomes in lung cancer care.

Objective: Accurate tracking of anatomical landmarks during swallowing is critical for early diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia. Hyoid bone displacement plays a pivotal role in upper esophageal sphincter opening and airway protection, traditionally assessed via a videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS). However, VFSSs are subjective, expose patients to radiation, and are not universally accessible. High-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) offers a noninvasive alternative, utilizing acoustic and vibratory signals. Prior studies have validated HRCA’s efficacy in analyzing swallowing kinematics and correlating with hyoid bone displacement, typically employing transform domain characteristics and recurrent neural networks to achieve 50% overlap in predicted displacementsMethods: We introduce a transformer-based architecture for tracking hyoid bone displacement directly from raw HRCA signals, leveraging advanced temporal and spatial feature extraction methods using attention mechanism. The proposed pipeline preprocesses HRCA signals, segments individual swallows, and tracks the hyoid bone.Results: Our approach significantly improves upon existing methods, achieving over 70% relative overlap in predicted hyoid bone displacements across validation folds, surpassing state-of-the-art baseline models by a margin of at least 20%. Comprehensive statistical analysis confirms the robustness and accuracy of our predictions, demonstrating strong generalization capabilities on an independent dataset.Conclusion: This novel approach underscores the potential of transformer models in promoting noninvasive dysphagia assessment, offering a precise tracking of hyoid bone without VFSS images, and providing clinicians with insights about its movement trends, potentially aiding in clinical decision-making and bringing us one step closer to automated noninvasive swallowing assessment protocols. Clinical Impact– This study highlights the potential of automated hyoid bone tracking using HRCA signals to enhance dysphagia assessment by providing objective, noninvasive measurements that potentially support earlier detection and monitoring of swallowing impairments in both clinical and home healthcare settings, ultimately improving patient management and treatment outcomes.
目的:准确追踪吞咽过程中的解剖标志对吞咽困难的早期诊断和治疗至关重要。舌骨移位在食管上括约肌打开和气道保护中起着关键作用,传统上通过视频透视吞咽研究(VFSS)进行评估。然而,vfss是主观的,使患者暴露于辐射中,并不是普遍可获得的。高分辨率宫颈听诊(HRCA)提供了一种非侵入性的选择,利用声学和振动信号。先前的研究已经验证了HRCA在分析吞咽运动学和与舌骨位移相关方面的有效性,通常使用变换域特征和递归神经网络来实现预测位移的50%重叠。方法:我们引入了一个基于变压器的架构,直接从原始HRCA信号中跟踪舌骨位移,利用先进的时空特征提取方法利用注意机制。提出的管道预处理HRCA信号,分割单个燕子,并跟踪舌骨。结果:我们的方法显著改进了现有方法,在验证折叠中预测舌骨移位的相对重叠超过70%,超过最先进的基线模型至少20%。综合统计分析证实了我们预测的稳健性和准确性,在独立数据集上展示了强大的泛化能力。结论:这种新方法强调了变形模型在促进无创吞咽困难评估方面的潜力,提供了没有VFSS图像的舌骨精确跟踪,并为临床医生提供了关于其运动趋势的见解,可能有助于临床决策,使我们更接近自动化的无创吞咽评估方案。临床影响:本研究强调了使用HRCA信号进行舌骨自动跟踪的潜力,通过提供客观、无创的测量,可能支持临床和家庭医疗环境中吞咽障碍的早期检测和监测,从而增强吞咽困难的评估,最终改善患者管理和治疗结果。

Objective: In the complex landscape of ICU operations, accurate discharge decisions are crucial yet challenging, as premature discharge risks readmission and mortality while prolonged stays consume resources and heighten infection risk. The objective of this work is to develop a deep learning-based Discharge Readiness Score (DRS) model using minimal clinical features to predict ICU discharge readiness, and to highlight its application in estimating excess ICU stays for resource optimization. Methods and procedures: We utilized nearly 1.8 million ICU patient-stays from 2007–2023 across 300 US hospitals in the Philips eICU database. Six readily available features (age, mean arterial pressure, systolic pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and Glasgow Coma Scale) were used as inputs. A 5-layer neural network predicted patient mortality within 48 hours post-ICU discharge as a proxy for discharge readiness. The model was trained on 80% of data, validated on 10%, and tested on 10% (approximately 180,000 patients). We applied the model hourly to estimate excess ICU stays, defining excess stay as the time patients remained at low risk but continued in ICU. Results: The model achieved an AUC of 0.93 on the test set. Performance was consistent across years, ethnicities, ICU types, and admission groups. Using the model, we found that about 22% of patients had excess ICU time, with a median of 16 hours. The analysis highlighted trends over time and across ICU types, providing insights into resource utilization. Conclusion: The DRS model effectively predicts ICU discharge readiness using minimal features and can estimate excess ICU stays, aiding resource optimization. Clinical Impact— The model offers a practical tool for ICU discharge planning and resource utilization analysis, potentially improving patient outcomes and ICU operations
目的:在复杂的ICU手术环境中,准确的出院决策至关重要,但也具有挑战性,因为过早出院有再入院和死亡的风险,而延长住院时间会消耗资源并增加感染风险。这项工作的目的是开发一个基于深度学习的出院准备评分(DRS)模型,使用最小的临床特征来预测ICU出院准备情况,并强调其在估计ICU多余住院时间方面的应用,以实现资源优化。方法和程序:我们利用飞利浦eICU数据库中300家美国医院2007-2023年的近180万ICU患者。6个容易获得的特征(年龄、平均动脉压、收缩压、心率、呼吸频率和格拉斯哥昏迷量表)作为输入。5层神经网络预测患者出院后48小时内的死亡率,作为出院准备的代理。该模型在80%的数据上进行了训练,在10%的数据上进行了验证,在10%的数据上进行了测试(大约18万名患者)。我们应用每小时模型来估计额外的ICU住院时间,将额外住院时间定义为患者保持低风险但继续在ICU的时间。结果:该模型在测试集上的AUC为0.93。不同年龄、种族、ICU类型和入院组的表现一致。使用该模型,我们发现约22%的患者有多余的ICU时间,中位数为16小时。该分析强调了随着时间的推移和ICU类型的趋势,提供了对资源利用的见解。结论:DRS模型利用最小特征有效预测ICU出院准备情况,并可估计ICU多余住院时间,有助于资源优化。临床影响-该模型为ICU出院计划和资源利用分析提供了实用工具,可能改善患者预后和ICU操作

Background: Mental resilience is an important indicator of our defence mechanism against mental illness. The assessment of mental resilience is conventionally done using psychological questionnaires but more recently, has been investigated using neuroimaging modalities such as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography. While having high spatial resolution, these modalities might not be cost-effective and accessible to serve larger populations. This pilot trial investigates the performance of electroencephalography (EEG) based system to assess mental resilience under different mental conditions.Methods: A total of sixty-eight healthy adults took part in this trial. Three types of EEG features, namely spectra, functional connectivity (FC) and effective connectivity (EC) were extracted, and their correlation with a standard resilience assessment instrument – the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were evaluated at resting and task conditions using stepwise regression. The features with the best goodness of fit model were then used to classify individuals into a low and high mental resilience class.Results: The EC features using phase slope index achieved the highest adjusted $R^{2}$ and the lowest root mean square error, compared to the spectral and FC features. The SVM classifiers trained with the EC features were able to recognize low mental resilience with accuracy at least 66% depending on the mental condition. Fusion of SVM scores from the eyes-closed, eyes-open and task conditions improved the classification accuracy to more than 85%.Conclusion: The pilot trial reveals the EC as the most promising EEG feature type in assessing mental resilience due to its measure of causality in brain activity, and demonstrates that the fusion of decisions among different mental conditions can help improve the recognition of low mental resilience. Findings from this trial contribute to maturing an EEG-based resilience assessment system development for workplace settings. Clinical Impact—Direct assessment using brain imaging modalities such as EEG provides a cost-effective means to assess mental resilience. To our knowledge, this is the first effort for healthy subjects. With the identified neuromarkers, the proposed solution demonstrates the potential to fuse EEG features from different mental conditions to provide accurate mental resilience assessment in workplace settings.
背景:心理弹性是心理疾病防御机制的重要指标。心理弹性的评估传统上是通过心理问卷来完成的,但最近,已经使用神经成像方式进行了研究,如磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描。这些模式虽然具有高空间分辨率,但可能不具有成本效益,无法为更大的人口提供服务。本试验旨在研究基于脑电图(EEG)的心理弹性评估系统在不同心理状态下的表现。方法:共有68名健康成人参加了这项试验。提取三种EEG特征,即频谱、功能连通性(FC)和有效连通性(EC),并在静息和任务条件下用逐步回归方法评估其与标准弹性评估工具- Connor-Davidson弹性量表的相关性。然后利用最佳拟合优度模型的特征将个体分为低心理弹性和高心理弹性两类。结果:与光谱特征和FC特征相比,采用相斜率指数的EC特征获得了最高的调整后R^{2}$和最低的均方根误差。使用EC特征训练的SVM分类器能够识别低心理弹性,根据心理状况,准确率至少为66%。将闭眼、睁眼和任务条件的SVM评分融合后,分类准确率达到85%以上。结论:前导试验揭示了脑电作为评估心理弹性最具前景的脑电特征类型,因为它可以测量大脑活动的因果关系,并证明了不同心理状态下的决策融合有助于提高对低心理弹性的识别。该试验的结果有助于完善基于脑电图的工作场所弹性评估系统。临床影响-直接评估使用脑成像模式,如脑电图提供了一种经济有效的手段来评估心理弹性。据我们所知,这是对健康受试者的首次尝试。通过识别出的神经标记,该解决方案展示了融合不同心理状态的脑电图特征的潜力,从而在工作场所环境中提供准确的心理弹性评估。
{"title":"Electroencephalography-Based Recognition of Low Mental Resilience Using Multi-Condition Decision-Level Fusion Approach","authors":"Rumaisa Abu Hasan;Tong Boon Tang;Muhamad Saiful Bahri Yusoff;Syed Saad Azhar Ali","doi":"10.1109/JTEHM.2025.3597088","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/JTEHM.2025.3597088","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Mental resilience is an important indicator of our defence mechanism against mental illness. The assessment of mental resilience is conventionally done using psychological questionnaires but more recently, has been investigated using neuroimaging modalities such as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography. While having high spatial resolution, these modalities might not be cost-effective and accessible to serve larger populations. This pilot trial investigates the performance of electroencephalography (EEG) based system to assess mental resilience under different mental conditions.Methods: A total of sixty-eight healthy adults took part in this trial. Three types of EEG features, namely spectra, functional connectivity (FC) and effective connectivity (EC) were extracted, and their correlation with a standard resilience assessment instrument – the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were evaluated at resting and task conditions using stepwise regression. The features with the best goodness of fit model were then used to classify individuals into a low and high mental resilience class.Results: The EC features using phase slope index achieved the highest adjusted <inline-formula> <tex-math>$R^{2}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and the lowest root mean square error, compared to the spectral and FC features. The SVM classifiers trained with the EC features were able to recognize low mental resilience with accuracy at least 66% depending on the mental condition. Fusion of SVM scores from the eyes-closed, eyes-open and task conditions improved the classification accuracy to more than 85%.Conclusion: The pilot trial reveals the EC as the most promising EEG feature type in assessing mental resilience due to its measure of causality in brain activity, and demonstrates that the fusion of decisions among different mental conditions can help improve the recognition of low mental resilience. Findings from this trial contribute to maturing an EEG-based resilience assessment system development for workplace settings. Clinical Impact—Direct assessment using brain imaging modalities such as EEG provides a cost-effective means to assess mental resilience. To our knowledge, this is the first effort for healthy subjects. With the identified neuromarkers, the proposed solution demonstrates the potential to fuse EEG features from different mental conditions to provide accurate mental resilience assessment in workplace settings.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"13 ","pages":"387-401"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11121398","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
