Complete Blood Count and Monocyte Distribution Width–Based Machine Learning Algorithms for Sepsis Detection: Multicentric Development and External Validation Study by Andrea Campagner, Luisa Agnello, Anna Carobene, Andrea Padoan, Fabio Del Ben, Massimo Locatelli, Mario Plebani, Agostino Ognibene, Maria Lorubbio, Elena De Vecchi, Andrea Cortegiani, Elisa Piva, Donatella Poz, Francesco Curcio, Federico Cabitza, Marcello Ciaccio

“…To improve generalizability and robustness to different types of distribution shifts, the developed ML models combine traditional methodologies with advanced techniques inspired by controllable artificial intelligence (AI), namely cautious classification, which gives the ML models the ability to abstain from making predictions, and explainable AI, which provides health operators with useful information about the models’ functioning. ResultsThe developed models achieved good performance on the internal validation (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve between 0.91 and 0.98), as well as consistent generalization performance across the external validation datasets (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve between 0.75 and 0.95), outperforming baseline biomarkers and state-of-the-art ML models for sepsis detection. …”
