Early prediction of critical events for infants with single-ventricle physiology in critical care using routinely collected data

Critical events are common and difficult to predict among infants with congenital heart disease and are associated with mortality and long-term sequelae. We aimed to achieve early prediction of critical events, that is, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency endotracheal intubation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in infants with single-ventricle physiology before second-stage surgery. We hypothesized that na ïve Bayesian models learned from expert knowledge and clinical data can predict critical events early and accurately.
