Abstrakt: A recent report from Imperial College London discusses the use of machine learning to personalize the decision-making process for switching patients from intravenous to oral antibiotic treatment. The researchers aimed to address the global threat of antimicrobial resistance and healthcare-associated infections by maximizing targeted oral therapy and reducing the use of indwelling vascular devices. The machine learning model developed achieved a mean AUROC of 0.80 and provided fair and interpretable predictions for when a patient could switch treatments. However, further evaluation of safety and efficacy is necessary before implementing this technology clinically. [Extracted from the article]
