Enhancing Clinical Decision-Making in Pediatric Monitoring: Learning Threshold Alarm Patterns to Predict Critical Illness
Background: Patient monitors assist caregivers in identifying deterioration earlier by using threshold alarms. Not all of the threshold alarms necessitate immediate action, but some are a result of the triggering of a physiological event. We aim to use pattern recognition techniques to identify…

Machine learning for predicting clinical outcomes of hospitalised children: a systematic review of applications in low- and middle-income countriesResearch in context
Summary: Background: Machine Learning (ML) can contribute to reducing child mortality and morbidity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet its development and clinical adoption remain unclear. This systematic review provides an overview of ML for hospitalised children in LMICs. Methods…

Cautiously optimistic: paediatric critical care nurses’ perspectives on data-driven algorithms in low-resource settings—a human-centred design study in Malawi
Abstract Background Paediatric critical care nurses face challenges in promptly detecting patient deterioration and delivering high-quality care, especially in low-resource settings (LRS). Patient monitors equipped with data-driven algorithms that monitor and integrate clinical data can optimise…
