Abstract
Background: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) and may contribute to adverse short-term and long-term outcomes. Acute kidney disease (AKD) reflects the adverse events developing after AKI. We aimed to develop and validate machine learning models to predict the occurrence of AKD in patients with sepsis-associated AKI.Methods: Using clinical data from patients with sepsis in the ICU at Beijing Friendship Hospital (BFH), we studied whether the following three machine learning models could predict the occurrence of AKD using demographic, laboratory, and other related variables: Recurrent Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM), decision trees, and logistic regression. In addition, we externally validated the results in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC III) database. The outcome was the diagnosis of AKD when defined as AKI prolonged for 7–90 days according to Acute Disease Quality Initiative-16.Results: In this study, 209 patients from BFH were included, with 55.5% of them diagnosed as having AKD. Furthermore, 509 patients were included from the MIMIC III database, of which 46.4% were diagnosed as having AKD. Applying machine learning could successfully achieve very high accuracy (RNN-LSTM AUROC = 1; decision trees AUROC = 0.954; logistic regression AUROC = 0.728), with RNN-LSTM showing the best results. Further analyses revealed that the change of non-renal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score between the 1st day and 3rd day (Δnon-renal SOFA) is instrumental in predicting the occurrence of AKD.Conclusion: Our results showed that machine learning, particularly RNN-LSTM, can accurately predict AKD occurrence. In addition, Δ SOFAnon−renal plays an important role in predicting the occurrence of AKD.
