Predicting intensive care need in women with preeclampsia using machine learning – a pilot study by Camilla Edvinsson, Ola Björnsson, Lena Erlandsson, Stefan R. Hansson

“…In this study we aimed to develop a prediction model for severe outcomes using routine biomarkers and clinical characteristics.Methods We used machine learning models based on data from an intensive care cohort with severe preeclampsia (n=41) and a cohort of preeclampsia controls (n=40) with the objective to find patterns for severe disease not detectable with traditional logistic regression models.Results The best model was generated by including the laboratory parameters aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), uric acid and body mass index (BMI) with a cross-validation accuracy of 0.88 and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91. …”
