As a potential mechanism to explain this limitation, we hypothesized that clinician-recommended treatment times for sepsis would diverge from onset time defined by Sepsis-3. We conducted an electronic survey that was completed by 153 clinicians at three large and geographically diverse medical centers using vignettes derived from eight real cases of sepsis. After reviewing these vignettes, participants suggested antibiotic treatment to start an average of 7.0 hours (95% confidence interval 5.3 to 8.8) before the Sepsis-3 definition onset. Thus, predicting Sepsis-3 onset as a treatment prompt could lead to inappropriate and delayed treatment recommendations.

In particular, developing data-driven machine learning models can provide early identification of patients with high risk for diabetes, potentially leading to more effective therapeutic strategies and reduced healthcare costs. However, regulation restrictions create barriers to developing centralized predictive models. This paper addresses the challenges by introducing a federated learning approach, which amalgamates predictive models without centralized data storage and processing, thus avoiding privacy issues. This marks the first application of federated learning to predict diabetes using real clinical datasets in Canada extracted from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN) without cross-province patient data sharing. We address class-imbalance issues through downsampling techniques and compare federated learning performance against province-based and centralized models. Experimental results show that the federated MLP model presents a similar or higher performance compared to the model trained with the centralized approach. However, the federated logistic regression model showed inferior performance compared to its centralized peer.</p>","PeriodicalId":72180,"journal":{"name":"AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings.
