TCKIN: A Novel Integrated Network Model for Predicting Mortality Risk in Sepsis Patients
<|reference_start|>TCKIN: A Novel Integrated Network Model for Predicting Mortality Risk in Sepsis Patients: Sepsis poses a major global health threat, accounting for millions of deaths annually and significant economic costs. Accurate predictions of mortality risk in sepsis patients facilitate the efficient allocation of medical resources, thereby enhancing patient survival and quality of life. Through precise risk assessments, healthcare facilities can effectively distribute intensive care beds, medical equipment, and staff, ensuring high-risk patients receive timely and appropriate care. Early identification and intervention significantly decrease mortality rates and improve patient outcomes. Current methods typically utilize only one type of data--either constant, temporal, or ICD codes. This study introduces the Time-Constant KAN Integrated Network(TCKIN), an innovative model that enhances the accuracy of sepsis mortality risk predictions by integrating both temporal and constant data from electronic health records and ICD codes. Validated against the MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV datasets, TCKIN surpasses existing machine learning and deep learning methods in accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Notably, TCKIN achieved AUCs of 87.76% and 88.07%, demonstrating superior capability in identifying high-risk patients. Additionally, TCKIN effectively combats the prevalent issue of data imbalance in clinical settings, improving the detection of patients at elevated risk of mortality and facilitating timely interventions. These results confirm the model's effectiveness and its potential to transform patient management and treatment optimization in clinical practice. With this advanced risk assessment tool, healthcare providers can devise more tailored treatment plans, optimize resource utilization, and ultimately enhance survival rates and quality of life for sepsis patients.<|reference_end|>
