Mortality Prediction Model of Septic Shock Patients Based on Routinely Recorded Data

Figure 1

Example of parameters series from one patient (ID 6471). Green and black lines mark the start and the end of a shock episodes, respectively. The red lines indicate the threshold value for abnormality according to the SIRS criteria. After 6 days in ICU the patient dies. Notice that the values of lactate monotonically increase hinting organ dysfunction, hypoperfusion, and tissue injury. The values for WBC are maintained clearly over the threshold during the entire ICU staying, sign of a systemic inflammatory response. Observing the trend for the RR series, it is clearly visible that there is a sharp increase of the values till a plateau, synchronous with the shock onset. The patient receives about 1200 mL of fluids but he shows a persistent hypotension despite fluid resuscitation.
