OBJECTIVES
l To Explore and Analyse Variables
Contributing to Average Length of Stay,
Severity of ARDS and Possible Outcome related to ARDS.
l To Facilitate AI Experts in
Developing Prediction Algorithm for Average Length of Stay, Severity of ARDS
and Possible Outcome related to ARDS.
l To Pilot Test Effectiveness
of Developed AI Algorithms in Predicting Average Length of Stay, Severity of
ARDS and Possible Outcome related to ARDS.
Justification for
study (whether of national significance with rationale)
Depending on the severity of the sickness and the duration of stay, an
administrator must identify and predict any particular, frequent, and
catastrophic condition that may increase hospital stays and result in greater
costs, either from the patient directly or through a third party.
We hope that this study will be able to predict both the
average length of stay for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) and possible clinical outcomes. Additionally, we will identify the
critical factors that will put ARDS patients into three severity categories:
mild, moderate, and severe.Finding this would assist the administrator and the
doctor in improving patient communication and preparing them for any potential
ARDS-related clinical outcomes.
Detailed description of procedure /
processes :
Objective 1 Methodology :
With the assistance of clinicians, investigate
and evaluate the Variables noted in ICU 1,
2, and 3. Finalize the Data Collection Form by removing all unnecessary
variables.
After IEC and CTRI approval , Data will be collected Retrospectively gathering
the information of 462 patients from Medical Records Department.
All Patients hospitalized to the ICU for
longer than 48 hours will have their data retrospectively collected from MRD
for the previous three years(august2021-august2024), including patients with ARDS
only . This will be done to ensure that we don’t miss anything that could have
an impact on the average duration of stay, the severity of ARDS, and the
potential results.
Study settings :
Departments
including Critical Care Department in
Kasturba medical college , Manipal and Data Collected from the Medical Records
Department.
Data
collection form :
Data
will be collected using excel sheet where new variables will be added depending
upon the clinicians .
Analysis
of Data:
Analysis
using descriptive analysis, nominal variables will be reported using mean ±
standard deviation and median with IQR depending on the normality of the data.
Variables
in Respiratory chart includes ratio of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) to
partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is less than 300 mmHg , Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) >-5 AP, Respiratory rate,
heart rate, sp02, pH, Partial pressure
of Carbon dioxide (PaC02) , Saturation of oxygen (Sa02), HC03, Lac, AG.APACHE,
SOFA ,
Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio and CBC
Serology
include Hb , Hct /PCV, platelet, WBC, DLC, PT, INR , Aptt, LDH , urea , creatinine,
sodium, potassium,
calcium, TB, DB, proteins, Albumin, Globulin, AST, ALT, ALP, PCT. CRP,
Bicarbonate.
To determine
the factors that contribute to the severity of ARDS and potential outcomes, we
will use the Chi square test, Univariate analysis, and Multivariate analysis.
While categorical data are given as percentages and figures, continuous
variables are typically presented as mean ± standard deviation or median
(interquartile range), depending on the situation.
Objective 2 Methodology :
Identifying the essential elements of ARDS and using clinicians help to
discover significant variables for patient outcomes in order to accelerate the
development of machine learning employing machine learning professionals.
Objective 3 Methodology:
To assess the effectiveness of the AI prediction
model in predicting length of stay, severity of ARDS, and potential outcomes, a
pilot study will be initiated. This study will retrospectively collect data
from 100 patients from the MRD of IEC No. 591/2019 and CTRI/2019/11/021857,
which were prospectively collected in 2019. The pilot testing aims to evaluate
the sensitivity and specificity of the model.
