#NotEvenTrying New in @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social Crit Care Med, @hauschildt.bsky.social + @ajadmon.bsky.social review 120 ML or AI studies predicting sepsis, sepsis-related outcomes or sepsis treatment in adult populations NONE reported formal fairness metrics pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40488579/

Abstract text:
Consideration of Sociodemographics in Machine Learning-Driven Sepsis Risk Prediction
OBJECTIVES: Use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in prediction of sepsis and related outcomes is growing. Guidelines call for explicit reporting of study data demographics and stratified performance analyses to assess potential sociodemographic bias. We assessed reporting of sociodemographic data and other considerations, such as use of stratified analyses or use of so-called “fairness metrics", among AI and ML models in sepsis.
DATA SOURCES: PubMed identified systematic and narrative reviews from which studies were extracted using PubMed and Google Scholar.
STUDY SELECTION: Studies were extracted from selected review articles published between January 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, and related to sepsis, riskprediction, and ML; we extracted studies predicting sepsis, sepsis-related outcomes, or sepsis treatment in adult populations.
DATA EXTRACTION: Data were extracted by two reviewers using predefined forms, and included study type, outcome of interest, setting, dataset used, reporting of sample sociodemographics, inclusion of sociodemographics as predictors, stratification by sociodemographics or assessment of fairness metrics, and reporting a lack of sociodemographic considerations as a limitation.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Thirteen of 96 review studies (14%) met inclusion criteria: 6 systematic reviews and 7 narrative reviews. 120 of 170 studies (71%) extracted from these review articles were included in our review. 99 of 120 studies (83%) reported a measure of geography or where data was collected. Eighty (67%) reported sex/gender, 24 (20%) reported race/ethnicity, and 4 (3%) reported other sociodemographics. Only three stratified performance results (2%) by sociodemographics; none reported formal fairness metrics. Beyond a lack of geographic heterogeneity (39/120, 33%), few studies reported a lack of sociodemographic consideration as a limitation

1/ Great advice for med students & residents on the DON’Ts for a personal statement: tinyurl.com/yjewsknc ❌ Don’t write >1 page ❌ Don’t write before you think ❌ Don’t write about a momentous clinical experience ❌ Don’t focus only on medical experiences ❌ Don’t explain the specialty

Maggie made a checklist for her birthday party (with some spelling help :-)). This is going to be an epic fifth birthday bash!

You know what’s the real disappointment here? We never went all the way. We never had a logit vs probit showdown.

Do not confuse "interesting thoughts about art" for ironclad instructions about how to make art.

last night, Hallie Prescott had her NEJM review on sepsis released: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... Today I had the pleasure of giving some remarks on her installation as the Toews Family Legacy Professor at the University of Michigan

Sepsis is a life-threatening, heterogeneous disorder involving a dysregulated immune response to infection. Research to identify subtypes and targeted therapies for host dysregulation is ongoing.

I have been a big proponent of 15 minutes of writing per day- especially for busy clinical academicians as laid out in the book "How to write a lot" (a great and quick read) We suffer from the idea that we need chunks of time to write So with this 🧵 I will put my money where my mouth is 1/

I haven’t been able to get @nealstephenson.bsky.social’s Anathem out of my head, and am already looking forward to re-reading. And if that isn’t enough, it has DAGs!

Cover for book “Anathem” by Neal Stephenson, featuring a person in a tunic walking out of a gate beneath an analemma.
