Towards personalized intensive care decision support using a Bayesian network: A multicenter glycemic control study
Personalized treatment in glycemic control (GC) is a visibly promising research area that requires improved mechanisms providing patient-specific procedures to enable complicated decision support. Available per-patient data must be more than written records, and be fully integrated in this personali...

This article presents a process for relating the intensive care unit patients' demographic and admission data to their GC performance. With this objective, a probabilistic Bayesian network was chosen to provide more personalized decisions. As a case study, average daily blood glucose measurements were chosen as the interest target node in order to weigh GC that provides a reduced nursing workload. To test the idea, data from 482 patients, with nine variables from four Malaysian intensive care units with different controls were exploited. The identified steps crucial in building a dependable model are variable selection, continuous state discretization, and unsupervised structure learning.

Personalized treatment in glycemic control (GC) is a visibly promising research area that requires improved mechanisms providing patient-specific procedures to enable complicated decision support. Available per-patient data must be more than written records, and be fully integrated in this personalization process. This article presents a process for relating the intensive care unit patients' demographic and admission data to their GC performance. With this objective, a probabilistic Bayesian network was chosen to provide more personalized decisions. As a case study, average daily blood glucose measurements were chosen as the interest target node in order to weigh GC that provides a reduced nursing workload.
