NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint
Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.
Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).
Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.
Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.
Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.
Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Prediction Model of Perioperative Blood Transfusion for Cardiovascular Surgery Patients Based on Machine Learning: Retrospective Study Using Electronic Medical Records
ABSTRACT
Background:
Blood transfusion was related to postoperative adverse events and increased medical costs in patients underwent cardiovascular surgery. Predicting transfusion risk or major bleeding risk will help reduce transfusion. Machine learning (ML) methods show good performance at predicting risk, but transfusion risk prediction based on ML models among Chinese population were unavailable.
Objective:
To establish and validate prediction models using ML methods for perioperative transfusion risk of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery in the Chinese population.
Methods:
Analysis was performed using electronic medical records from patients underwent cardiovascular surgery in Fuwai hospital between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2019. Based on the 66402 unique patients, a retrospective cohort (N=61892) and a prospective cohort (N=4510) were formed for model derivation and validation. Four ML algorithms including eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), random forest, naive Bayes, logistic regression with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were adopted using 10-folds cross-validation to build prediction models of perioperative blood, red blood cell, plasma and platelet transfusion. According to the model evaluation in the validation cohort, the optimal perioperative blood transfusion prediction model was selected to compare with the Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthetists perioperative risk of blood transfusion score (the ACTA-PORT score) established in previous research.
Results:
Among ML models, the XGBoost(area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve[AUC]:0.823; 95% confidence interval[CI]: 0.810 to 0.836) outperformed other models for perioperative blood transfusion and showed better prediction ability than ACTA-PORT score (AUC:0.690; 95% CI: 0.673 to 0.707; P<.001) in the validation cohort. While ML prediction models for perioperative red blood cell transfusion, plasma transfusion and platelet transfusion, achieving good model performance as AUC levels were 0.836(95% CI: 0.823 to 0.849), 0.766(95% CI: 0.745 to 0.787) and 0.948(95% CI: 0.937 to 0.959) respectively.
Conclusions:
The study retrospectively developed and prospectively validated discriminative perioperative transfusion prediction models, which may promote the early warning and intervention against perioperative transfusion, and benefit patient blood management.
