We identified adults with a solid tumour admitted to ICU with sepsis between 01/01/2011 and 31/12/2020 at a tertiary oncology centre with two hospitals (London and Surrey, UK). We defined sepsis using the Sepsis-3 definition. The primary outcome was 90-day survival. We used the parametric accelerated failure time model for multivariate analysis to generate acceleration factors (AF).Results625 patients were identified and the 90-day survival rate was 59.5%(353/593).Multivariate analysis identified the presence of localized (AF 0.13, 95% CI 0.06-0.25) or regionalized disease (AF 0.21, 95% CI 0.12-0.36) compared to distant metastatic disease, unplanned surgery on the day of admission (AF 0.15, 95% CI 0.07-0.31), lactate (AF 1.25 95% CI 1.15-1.35), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (AF 1.19, 95% CI 1.12-1.27), previous radiotherapy (AF 1.89, 95% CI 1.14-3.125), previous systemic anti-cancer treatment (excluding hormonal therapy) (AF 1.49, 95% CI 0.93-2.38), bacteraemia (AF 0.47, 95% CI 0.27-0.81) and serum albumin (AF 0.94, 95% CI 0.91-0.98) as independent predictors of 90-day survival.ConclusionsThis study of solid tumour patients admitted to ICU is one of the largest providing survival data to inform clinicians and patients.

Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from infection, is among the most dangerous complications in the intensive care unit (ICU). Currently, no model exists to predict the onset of sepsis in ischemic stroke patients. This study aimed to develop the first predictive model for sepsis in ischemic stroke patients using data from the MIMIC-IV database, leveraging machine learning techniques.MethodsA total of 2238 adult patients with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke, admitted to the ICU for the first time, were included from the MIMIC-IV database. The outcome of interest was the development of sepsis. Model development adhered to the TRIPOD guidelines. Feature selection was performed using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, identifying 28 key variables. Multiple machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, decision trees, and XGBoost, were trained and internally validated. Performance metrics were assessed, and XGBoost was selected as the optimal model. The SHAP method was used to interpret the XGBoost model, revealing the impact of individual features on predictions. The model was also deployed on a user-friendly platform for practical use in clinical settings.ResultsThe XGBoost model demonstrated superior performance in the validation set, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.863 and offering greater net benefit compared to other models.
