Popis: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is a key clinical tool in the assessment and treatment of patients in a neuro-intensive care unit (neuro-ICU). As such, a deeper understanding of how an individual patient's ICP can be influenced by therapeutic interventions could improve clinical decision-making. A pilot application of a time-varying dynamic linear model was conducted using the BrainIT dataset, a multi-centre European dataset containing temporaneous treatment and vital-sign recordings. The study included 106 patients with a minimum of 27 h of ICP monitoring. The model was trained on the first 24 h of each patient's ICU stay, and then the next 2 h of ICP was forecast. The algorithm enabled switching between three interventional states: analgesia, osmotic therapy and paralysis, with the inclusion of arterial blood pressure, age and gender as exogenous regressors. The overall median absolute error was 2.98 (2.41-5.24) mmHg calculated using all 106 2-h forecasts. This is a novel technique which shows some promise for forecasting ICP with an adequate accuracy of approximately 3 mmHg. Further optimisation is required for the algorithm to become a usable clinical tool.
