Paper accepted in Bioengineering Journal
We are happy to announce that our paper “A Longitudinal Model for a Dynamic Risk Score to Predict Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage” has been accepted for publication in the Bioengineering Journal. Delayed Cerebral Ischemia (DCI) is a common and severe complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and its early detection is crucial to prevent serious neurological deficits. However, the onset of DCI is missed frequently due to its multi-factorial pathophysiology and a dynamic change of contributing factors.
Our paper proposes a longitudinal model that combines a static and dynamic component to predict the onset of DCI. The static component includes features known at the time of admission (e.g., demographics, comorbidities) and which will not change over time, while the dynamic component includes various laboratory values that are measured repeatedly during the patient’s stay in the hospital. We show that this combination provides a more accurate prediction than using only static or dynamic features. Check out the paper here.
