Recurrent Neural Network on PICTURE Model

Intensive Care Units (ICUs) provide critical care and life support for most severely ill and injured patients in the hospital. With the need for ICUs growing rapidly and unprecedentedly, especially during COVID-19, accurately identifying the most critical patients helps hospitals to allocate resources more efficiently and save more lives. The Predicting Intensive Care Transfers and Other Unforeseen Events (PICTURE) model predicts patient deterioration by separating those at high risk for imminent intensive care unit transfer, respiratory failure, or death from those at lower risk. This study aims to implement a deep learning model to benchmark the performance from the XGBoost model, an existing model which has competitive results on prediction.
