it should be noted that the addition of levosimendan to the standard treatment in adults with sepsis was associated with a lower likelihood of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation

and that regulatory framework is still not yet developed even though it’s been years in the making. For example, you can use a sepsis detection tool as a clinical decision support, and that tool will never be evaluated for clinical end points to see if it actually improves the likelihood ...
Working with Intel, Penn Medicine created a collaborative data science platform to help predict and prevent two of the most common and costly issues for hospitals: sepsis and heart failure. The predictive model was able to identify about 85 percent of sepsis cases (up from 50 percent) as much...
They can apply the model to near real-time data from their current patients to better detect and treat sepsis cases. And the cooperative framework can be reused for other use cases, with different data sets. Project Amber launch and business model With the evolution ...
