  1. 1. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

  2. 2. ASSESSING PREDICTION CONDITIONS ANDSEQUENTIAL CLASSIFICATION IN ICU SEPSISPREDICTION

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Petter Lind; [2023]
    Keywords : Sepsis Prediction; Sequential Prediction; Conditional Predictions; XGBoost;

    Abstract : Patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) often have a higher risk of sepsis due to weakened immune systems. Early sepsis diagnosis is crucial for timely treatment, emphasizing the need to improve the predictive capabilities of sepsis prediction models. READ MORE

  3. 3. Evaluation of manual and robotic techniques for Micro-RNA extraction in early sepsis diagnosis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Tjorven Plontke; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the spread of infectious diseases throughout the body, resulting in a dysfunctional immune system response. It includes a wide range of symptomsa ffecting multiple organs, making accurate diagnosis challenging. READ MORE

  4. 4. Sensitive Detection of Blood Biomarker Pentraxin 3 – Development and Comparison of Amperometric and Capacitive Biosensors in Flow-Injection Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Abstract : Within clinical diagnostics there is always a need for innovative methods that are rapid, sensitive, and more accurate. In this study two bioanalytical systems have been evaluated for pentraxin 3 (PTX3) detection. READ MORE

  5. 5. The battle against sepsis : exploring the genotypic diversity of pseudomonas and proteus clinical isolates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Suud Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that has a mysterious origin, underscoring the significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial whole-genome sequencing, which is widely used in clinical microbiology, stands at the forefront of sequencing technologies, particularly to combat sepsis. READ MORE
