In intensive care units (ICUs), a patient's brain function status can shift from a state of acute brain dysfunction (ABD) to one that is ABD-free and vice versa, which is challenging to forecast and, in turn, hampers the allocation of hospital resources.
VUMC's Brad Malin, You Chen, Cheng Gao, Chao Yan and a team of other researchers developed a machine learning model to predict next-day brain function status changes.
