Early Detection of Late Onset Sepsis in Premature Infants Using Visibility Graph Analysis of Heart Rate Variability

Résumé

Objective: This study was designed to test the diagnostic value of visibility graph features derived from the heart rate time series to predict late onset sepsis (LOS) in preterm infants using machine learning. Methods: The heart rate variability (HRV) data was acquired from 49 premature newborns hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). The LOS group consisted of patients who received more than five days of antibiotics, at least 72 hours after birth. The control group consisted of infants who did not receive antibiotics. HRV features in the days prior to the start of antibiotics (LOS group) or in a randomly selected period (control group) were compared against a baseline value calculated during a calibration period. After automatic feature selection, four machine learning algorithms were trained. All the tests were done using two variants of the feature set: one only included traditional HRV features, and the other additionally included visibility graph features. Performance was studied using area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC). Results: The best performance for detecting LOS was obtained with logistic regression, using the feature set including visibility graph features, with AUROC of 87.7% during the six hours preceding the start of antibiotics, and with predictive potential (AUROC above 70%) as early as 42 h before start of antibiotics. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the usefulness of introducing visibility graph indexes in HRV analysis for sepsis prediction in newborns. Significance: The method proposed the possibility of non-invasive, real-Time monitoring of risk of LOS in a NICU setting.
