Predicting the length of stay for neonates using heart-rate Markov models
Abstract
Recently, there has been an increase in preterm newborn's survival and as a result longer length of stay (LOS) in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) have been observed. Conseqyently, there has been an increased interest in accurate prediction of the LOS. Most of the existing techniques are based on physiological parameters i.e., scores such as (SNAP-II or SNAPPE-II). In this paper we propose to predict the length of stay using heart-rate …
