Excerpt
It was interesting to read the recent article by Ohbe et al. [
1], wherein they developed and validated the prediction model for the new-onset functional impairment at hospital discharge from intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In this retrospective data analysis, the authors determined the predictors of functional impairment assessed by Barthel index (BI) on ICU admitted patients, who were independently active before admission. They selected 94 variables from the routinely collected data based on the previous literature and computed the importance of each by conventional and machine learning models. With these models they concluded that a few newly detected early predictors such as worsened neurologic status at admission including comatose and mild dementia and catabolism biomarkers such as decreased serum albumin and increased blood urea nitrogen can predict the new onset functional impairment. …
