Prediction of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in the Intensive Care Unit: Machine Learning–Based Multimodal Approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Early identification of impending in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) improves clinical outcomes but remains elusive for practicing clinicians. Objective: We aimed to develop a multimodal machine learning algorithm based on ensemble techniques to predict the occurrence of IHCA. Methods: Our model was developed by the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring of Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database and validated in the Electronic Intensive Care Unit Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD). Baseline features consisting of patient demographics, presenting illness, and comorbidities were collected to train a random forest model. Next, vital signs were extracted to train a long short-term memory model. A support vector machine algorithm then stacked the results to form the final prediction model. Results: Of 23,909 patients in the MIMIC-IV database and 10,049 patients in the eICU-CRD database, 452 and 85 patients, respectively, had IHCA. At 13 hours in advance of an IHCA event, our algorithm had already demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.85 (95% CI 0.815-0.885) in the MIMIC-IV database. External validation with the eICU-CRD and National Taiwan University Hospital databases also presented satisfactory results, showing area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of 0.81 (95% CI 0.763-0.851) and 0.945 (95% CI 0.934-0.956), respectively. Conclusions: Using only vital signs and information available in the electronic medical record, our model demonstrates it is possible to detect a trajectory of clinical deterioration up to 13 hours in advance. This predictive tool, which has undergone external validation, could forewarn and help clinicians identify patients in need of assessment to improve their overall prognosis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
