    Application of Artificial Intelligence in Early-Stage Diagnosis of Sepsis
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2022) Sezer, E.A.; Sever, H.; Par, O.E.
    Patient care is a critical task, which requires a lot of effort. Medical practitioners face many challenges, especially during diagnosing different diseases. Sepsis is one of the riskiest diseases, which proves to be lethal for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a major cause of death worldwide. Early-stage diagnosis of sepsis can help in terminating it in the start. But unfortunately, medical practitioners encounter hitches in the early-stage diagnosis of sepsis. The study used SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) for measuring the severity of sepsis in patients. The study employs artificial intelligence techniques such as Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Random Forest (RF) to diagnose early-stage of sepsis. The study compared the performance of MLP (connected and non-connected) and Random Forest (connected and non-connected) algorithms. The results indicate that for both of the algorithms, the connected method yielded better results than the non-connected method. Further, it was found that RF both connected and non-connected algorithms yielded better results than MLP algorithms and the Random Forest connected algorithm yielded highly accurate results for diagnosing early-stage sepsis in the 3rd hour. © 2022 ACM.
