  1. 1. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Författare :Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.
