Explainable machine learning model for predicting furosemide responsiveness in patients with oliguric acute kidney injury by Meng Jiang, Chun-qiu Pan, Jian Li, Li-gang Xu, Chang-li Li

“…We aimed to develop an explainable machine learning (ML) model to differentiate between furosemide-responsive (FR) and furosemide-unresponsive (FU) oliguric AKI.Methods From Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) and eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD), oliguric AKI patients with urine output (UO) < 0.5 ml/kg/h for the first 6 h after ICU admission and furosemide infusion ≥ 40 mg in the following 6 h were retrospectively selected. The MIMIC-IV cohort was used in training a XGBoost model to predict UO > 0.65 ml/kg/h during 6–24 h succeeding the initial 6 h for assessing oliguria, and it was validated in the eICU-CRD cohort. …”
