Fluid Overload Phenotypes in Critical Illness-A Machine Learning Approach.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
The detrimental impact of fluid overload (FO) on intensive care unit (ICU) morbidity and mortality is well known. However, research to identify subgroups of patients particularly prone to fluid overload is scarce. The aim of this cohort study was to derive "FO phenotypes" in the critically ill by using machine learning techniques.Methods
Retrospective single center study including adult intensive care patients with a length of stay of ≥3 days and sufficient data to compute FO. Data was analyzed by multivariable logistic regression, fast and frugal trees (FFT), classification decision trees (DT), and a random forest (RF) model.Results
Out of 1772 included patients, 387 (21.8%) met the FO definition. The random forest model had the highest area under the curve (AUC) (0.84, 95% CI 0.79-0.86), followed by multivariable logistic regression (0.81, 95% CI 0.77-0.86), FFT (0.75, 95% CI 0.69-0.79) and DT (0.73, 95% CI 0.68-0.78) to predict FO. The most important predictors identified in all models were lactate and bicarbonate at admission and postsurgical ICU admission. Sepsis/septic shock was identified as a risk factor in the MV and RF analysis.Conclusion
The FO phenotypes consist of patients admitted after surgery or with sepsis/septic shock with high lactate and low bicarbonate.

Project description:Numerical simulation of fluids plays an essential role in modeling many physical phenomena, such as weather, climate, aerodynamics, and plasma physics. Fluids are well described by the Navier-Stokes equations, but solving these equations at scale remains daunting, limited by the computational cost of resolving the smallest spatiotemporal features. This leads to unfavorable trade-offs between accuracy and tractability. Here we use end-to-end deep learning to improve approximations inside computational fluid dynamics for modeling two-dimensional turbulent flows. For both direct numerical simulation of turbulence and large-eddy simulation, our results are as accurate as baseline solvers with 8 to 10× finer resolution in each spatial dimension, resulting in 40- to 80-fold computational speedups. Our method remains stable during long simulations and generalizes to forcing functions and Reynolds numbers outside of the flows where it is trained, in contrast to black-box machine-learning approaches. Our approach exemplifies how scientific computing can leverage machine learning and hardware accelerators to improve simulations without sacrificing accuracy or generalization.

Project description:Gene expression signatures are commonly used as predictive biomarkers, but do not capture structural features within the tissue architecture. Here we apply a 2-step machine learning framework for quantitative imaging of tumor vasculature to derive a spatially informed, prognostic gene signature. The trained algorithms classify endothelial cells and generate a vascular area mask (VAM) in H&E micrographs of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Quantification of VAMs led to the discovery of 9 vascular features (9VF) that predicted disease-free-survival in a discovery cohort (n = 64, HR = 2.3). Correlation analysis and information gain identified a 14 gene expression signature related to the 9VF's. Two generalized linear models with elastic net regularization (14VF and 14GT), based on the 14 genes, separated independent cohorts of up to 301 cases into good and poor disease-free survival groups (14VF HR = 2.4, 14GT HR = 3.33). For the first time, we successfully applied digital image analysis and targeted machine learning to develop prognostic, morphology-based, gene expression signatures from the vascular architecture. This novel morphogenomic approach has the potential to improve previous methods for biomarker development.

Project description:BackgroundCardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex state with many underlying causes and associated outcomes. It is still difficult to differentiate between various CS phenotypes. We investigated if the CS phenotypes with distinctive clinical profiles and prognoses might be found using the machine learning (ML) consensus clustering approach.MethodsThe current study included patients who were diagnosed with CS at the time of admission from the electronic ICU (eICU) Collaborative Research Database. Among 21,925 patients with CS, an unsupervised ML consensus clustering analysis was conducted. The optimal number of clusters was identified by means of the consensus matrix (CM) heat map, cumulative distribution function (CDF), cluster-consensus plots, and the proportion of ambiguously clustered pairs (PAC) analysis. We calculated the standardized mean difference (SMD) of each variable and used the cutoff of ± 0.3 to identify each cluster's key features. We examined the relationship between the phenotypes and several clinical endpoints utilizing logistic regression (LR) analysis.ResultsThe consensus cluster analysis identified two clusters (Cluster 1: n = 9,848; Cluster 2: n = 12,077). The key features of patients in Cluster 1, compared with Cluster 2, included: lower blood pressure, lower eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate), higher BUN (blood urea nitrogen), higher creatinine, lower albumin, higher potassium, lower bicarbonate, lower red blood cell (RBC), higher red blood cell distribution width (RDW), higher SOFA score, higher APS III score, and higher APACHE IV score on admission. The results of LR analysis showed that the Cluster 2 was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 0.374; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.347-0.402; P < 0.001), ICU mortality (OR: 0.349; 95% CI: 0.318-0.382; P < 0.001), and the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after admission (OR: 0.478; 95% CI: 0.452-0.505; P < 0.001).ConclusionsML consensus clustering analysis synthesized the pattern of clinical and laboratory data to reveal distinct CS phenotypes with different clinical outcomes.

Project description:Two molecular phenotypes of sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome, termed hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory, have been consistently identified by latent class analysis in numerous cohorts, with widely divergent clinical outcomes and differential responses to some treatments; however, the key biological differences between these phenotypes remain poorly understood. We used host and microbe metagenomic sequencing data from blood to deepen our understanding of biological differences between latent class analysis-derived phenotypes and to assess concordance between the latent class analysis-derived phenotypes and phenotypes reported by other investigative groups (e.g., SRS1-2, MARS1-4, reactive/uninflamed). We analyzed data from 113 hypoinflammatory and 76 hyperinflammatory sepsis patients enrolled in a two-hospital prospective cohort study. Molecular phenotypes had been previously assigned using latent class analysis. The hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory phenotypes of sepsis had distinct gene expression signatures, with 5,755 genes (31%) differentially expressed. The hyperinflammatory phenotype was associated with elevated expression of innate immune response genes, while the hypoinflammatory phenotype was associated with elevated expression of adaptive immune response genes, and notably, T-cell response genes. Plasma metagenomic analysis identified differences in prevalence of bacteremia, bacterial DNA abundance and composition between the phenotypes, with an increased presence and abundance of Enterobacteriaceae in the hyperinflammatory phenotype. Significant overlap was observed between these phenotypes and previously identified transcriptional subtypes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (reactive/uninflamed) and sepsis (SRS1-2). Analysis of data from the VANISH trial indicated that corticosteroids might have a detrimental effect in hypoinflammatory patients. The hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory phenotypes have distinct transcriptional and metagenomic features that could be leveraged for precision treatment strategies.

Project description:Single molecule localisation (SML) microscopy is a fundamental tool for biological discoveries; it provides sub-diffraction spatial resolution images by detecting and localizing "all" the fluorescent molecules labeling the structure of interest. For this reason, the effective resolution of SML microscopy strictly depends on the algorithm used to detect and localize the single molecules from the series of microscopy frames. To adapt to the different imaging conditions that can occur in a SML experiment, all current localisation algorithms request, from the microscopy users, the choice of different parameters. This choice is not always easy and their wrong selection can lead to poor performance. Here we overcome this weakness with the use of machine learning. We propose a parameter-free pipeline for SML learning based on support vector machine (SVM). This strategy requires a short supervised training that consists in selecting by the user few fluorescent molecules (∼ 10-20) from the frames under analysis. The algorithm has been extensively tested on both synthetic and real acquisitions. Results are qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the state of the art in SML microscopy and demonstrate that the introduction of machine learning can lead to a new class of algorithms competitive and conceived from the user point of view.

Project description:Fluid selection and administration during shock is typically guided by consideration of macrovascular abnormalities and resuscitative targets (perfusion parameters, heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output). However, the microcirculatory unit (comprised of arterioles, true capillaries, and venules) is vital for the effective delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells and removal of waste products from the tissue beds. Given that the microcirculation is subject to both systemic and local control, there is potential for functional changes and impacts on tissue perfusion that are not reflected by macrocirculatory parameters. This chapter will present an overview of the structure, function and regulation of the microcirculation and endothelial surface layer in health and shock states such as trauma, hemorrhage and sepsis. This will set the stage for consideration of how these microcirculatory characteristics, and the potential disconnect between micro- and macrovascular perfusion, may affect decisions related to acute fluid therapy (fluid type, amount, and rate) and monitoring of resuscitative efforts. Available evidence for the impact of various fluids and resuscitative strategies on the microcirculation will also be reviewed.

Project description:Recent clinical trials suggest that early nutritional support might block the induction of autophagy in critically ill patients leading to the development of organ failure. However, the regulation of autophagy, especially by nutrients, in critical illness is largely unclear. The autophagy flux (AF) in relation to critical illness and nutrition was investigated by using an in vitro model of human primary myotubes incubated with serum from critically ill patients (ICU). AF was calculated as the difference of p62 expression in the presence and absence of chloroquine (50 µM, 6 h), in primary myotubes incubated for 24 h with serum from healthy volunteers (n = 10) and ICU patients (n = 93). We observed 3 different phenotypes in AF, non-altered (ICU non-responder group), increased (ICU inducer group) or blocked (ICU blocker group). This block was not associate with a change in amino acids serum levels and was located at the accumulation of autophagosomes. The increase in the AF was associated with lower serum levels of non-essential amino acids. Thus, early nutrition during critical illness might not block autophagy but could attenuate the beneficial effect of starvation on reactivation of the autophagy process. This could be of clinical importance in the individual patients in whom this process is inhibited by the critical illness insult.

Project description:ObjectiveTo develop a machine learning (ML) pipeline based on radiomics to predict Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and the future deterioration to critical illness using CT and clinical variables.Materials and methodsClinical data were collected from 981 patients from a multi-institutional international cohort with real-time polymerase chain reaction-confirmed COVID-19. Radiomics features were extracted from chest CT of the patients. The data of the cohort were randomly divided into training, validation, and test sets using a 7:1:2 ratio. A ML pipeline consisting of a model to predict severity and time-to-event model to predict progression to critical illness were trained on radiomics features and clinical variables. The receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC-AUC), concordance index (C-index), and time-dependent ROC-AUC were calculated to determine model performance, which was compared with consensus CT severity scores obtained by visual interpretation by radiologists.ResultsAmong 981 patients with confirmed COVID-19, 274 patients developed critical illness. Radiomics features and clinical variables resulted in the best performance for the prediction of disease severity with a highest test ROC-AUC of 0.76 compared with 0.70 (0.76 vs. 0.70, p = 0.023) for visual CT severity score and clinical variables. The progression prediction model achieved a test C-index of 0.868 when it was based on the combination of CT radiomics and clinical variables compared with 0.767 when based on CT radiomics features alone (p < 0.001), 0.847 when based on clinical variables alone (p = 0.110), and 0.860 when based on the combination of visual CT severity scores and clinical variables (p = 0.549). Furthermore, the model based on the combination of CT radiomics and clinical variables achieved time-dependent ROC-AUCs of 0.897, 0.933, and 0.927 for the prediction of progression risks at 3, 5 and 7 days, respectively.ConclusionCT radiomics features combined with clinical variables were predictive of COVID-19 severity and progression to critical illness with fairly high accuracy.

Project description:Microglia are the brain's immunocompetent macrophages with a unique feature that allows surveillance of the surrounding microenvironment and subsequent reactions to tissue damage, infection, or homeostatic perturbations. Thereby, microglia's striking morphological plasticity is one of their prominent characteristics and the categorization of microglial cell function based on morphology is well established. Frequently, automated classification of microglial morphological phenotypes is performed by using quantitative parameters. As this process is typically limited to a few and especially manually chosen criteria, a relevant selection bias may compromise the resulting classifications. In our study, we describe a novel microglial classification method by morphological evaluation using a convolutional neuronal network on the basis of manually selected cells in addition to classical morphological parameters. We focused on four microglial morphologies, ramified, rod-like, activated and amoeboid microglia within the murine hippocampus and cortex. The developed method for the classification was confirmed in a mouse model of ischemic stroke which is already known to result in microglial activation within affected brain regions. In conclusion, our classification of microglial morphological phenotypes using machine learning can serve as a time-saving and objective method for post-mortem characterization of microglial changes in healthy and disease mouse models, and might also represent a useful tool for human brain autopsy samples.

Project description:Estimating the relationships between individuals is one of the fundamental challenges in many fields. In particular, relationship estimation could provide valuable information for missing persons cases. The recently developed investigative genetic genealogy approach uses high-density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to determine close and more distant relationships, in which hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of SNPs are generated either by microarray genotyping or whole-genome sequencing. The current studies usually assume the SNP profiles were generated with minimum errors. However, in the missing person cases, the DNA samples can be highly degraded, and the SNP profiles generated from these samples usually contain lots of errors. In this study, a robust machine learning approach was developed for estimating the relationships with high error SNP profiles. In this approach, a hierarchical classification strategy was employed first to classify the relationships by degree and then the relationship types within each degree separately. As for each classification, feature selection was implemented to gain better performance. Both simulated and real data sets with various genotyping error rates were utilized in evaluating this approach, and the accuracies of this approach were higher than individual measures; namely, this approach was more accurate and robust than the individual measures for SNP profiles with genotyping errors. In addition, the highest accuracy could be obtained by providing the same genotyping error rates in train and test sets, and thus estimating genotyping errors of the SNP profiles is critical to obtaining high accuracy of relationship estimation.
