Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to apply and compare machine learning techniques using clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) background features to predict acute cerebral injury in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). METHODS: This was a prospective study of patients admitted to the PICU from July 2021 to January 2023. We excluded patients with preexisting cere…
