Filter by:Non-COVID-19 sepsis (Sepsis) has always been one of the common diseases in critically ill patients. The main treatment strategy is to kill pathogens and mitigate hyperinflammation. One study demonstrated that the supplementation with 576,000 IU cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) as a single dose in critically ill adults in the medical intensive care units (MICUs) can improve clinical outcomes, including acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II score (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA), and C-reactive protein (CRP). It is a three-year, multi-center, prospective, parallel, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial for 240 eligible subjects, with administrations of vitamin D3 576,000 IU or placebo every 24 hours for 3 days (72 hours) within 96 hours after intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
This study seeks to utilise retrospective patient data to train machine learning algorithms to predict the short term mortality and morbidity after an emergency laparotomy. Data will be collected via the Electronic Health records system at the Queen Mary Hospital Hong Kong. Machine learning models will be compared and the best-performing one will be explored for further optimization and deployment. Upon completion, we hope that this platform will aid clinicians to identify high risk patients and aid clinical decisions and peri-operative planning, with the aim to reduce mortality and morbidity in this high risk procedure.
