An artificial intelligence (AI) model accurately predicts early mortality in emergency departments (ED). This machine learning tool can improve patient triage and resource allocation, enhancing emergency care outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Clinical Triage

Background:

  • Emergency departments (EDs) face increasing patient volumes, leading to potential adverse outcomes.
  • Triage systems aim to optimize patient waiting times and resource allocation.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) offers potential for developing predictive clinical tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a machine learning model for predicting patient mortality at the ED triage level.
  • To validate an automated tool for improving patient categorization within the ED.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of adult patients (18-100 years) admitted to the ED from 2012-2018.
  • Utilized demographics, chief complaint, vital signs, and Emergency Severity Index (ESI) as features.

  • Trained a gradient boosting model on 2012-2017 data and validated on 2018 data, using Area Under the Curve (AUC) for mortality prediction.

    • Main Results:

    • Analysis included 799,522 ED visits; early mortality was 0.6% and short-term mortality was 2.5%.
    • The full feature model achieved an AUC of 0.962 for early mortality and 0.923 for short-term mortality.
    • A nine-feature model (age, arrival mode, chief complaint, vital signs, ESI) also yielded an AUC of 0.962 for early mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • The gradient boosting model demonstrates significant predictive power for identifying patients at high risk of early mortality.
    • This AI tool effectively utilizes data available at triage for patient risk screening.
    • The validated model can enhance the accuracy of patient categorization in the ED setting.
