Machine Learning Prediction of Early ICU-to-Ward Transfer in Patients with Sepsis: Development, External Validation, and Retrospective Cohort Study
Early identification of patients likely to undergo ICU-to-ward transfer may inform transfer planning in sepsis. We developed LightGBM models using first 24 h ICU data from MIMIC-IV and evaluated them in a temporal internal test set and eICU-CRD. In MIMIC-IV, eligible patients met Sepsis-3 criteria by 24 h and remained...
