Real-Time Clinical Decision Support Systems for the Prevention of Deterioration in Acute Care

(2024) Real-Time Clinical Decision Support Systems for the Prevention of Deterioration in Acute Care. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Clinical deterioration is the progression of patients from their current clinical states to worse states where they have increased risks of adverse events. This thesis investigates why many prediction models for in-hospital deterioration fail to lead to improved outcomes for patients, applying mixed-methods approaches to improve the biostatistical, clinical, and operational foundations of predictive algorithm research. This research has broader implications for clinical prediction models, including that selection of statistical methods that mirror the clinical environment can lead to significant improvements in predictive accuracy and integration into end-users’ workflows.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
