SEPSIS
HRV features extracted from the ECG waveform can be automatically processed and predict progressive organ dysfunction, ICU admission and/or mortality among patients with sepsis. Although current analysis only consists of three-hour interval and trend-based analysis, we incorporated a broad range of HRV features to identify predictors for deterioration. The results can therefore be used as a starting point for future studies to select HRV features predictive of deterioration in an early septic population. Integrating the HRV features into multi-parameter models could aid the development of novel, accurate risk stratification tools to predict clinical deterioration among patients with early sepsis and support clinical decision making.
