Comparative Study of Machine Learning Models for Onset Sepsis Prediction

Abstract

Sepsis is one of life-threatening diseases that is caused by unbalanced body response to some chemicals that the body release into its blood stream when fighting an infection. Early prediction of sepsis can decrease mortality rates. Machine learning techniques can improve the accuracy of early sepsis prediction. This paper presents a comparative study for recent machine learning models that can be used for sepsis prediction using datasets provided by international Challenge, named PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology 2019.
