Extended Data Fig. 4: Analysis of false-positive predictions.
From: A clinically applicable approach to continuous prediction of future acute kidney injury
a, For prediction of any AKI within 48 h at 33% precision, nearly half of all predictions are trailing, after the AKI has already occurred (orange bars) or early, more than 48 h prior (blue bars). The histogram shows the distribution of these trailing and early false positives for prediction. Incorrect predictions are mapped to their closest preceding or following episode of AKI (whichever is closer) if that episode occurs in an admission. For ±1 day, 15.2% of false positives correspond to observed AKI events within 1 day after the prediction (model reacted too early) and 2.9% correspond to observed AKI events within 1 day before the prediction (model reacted too late). b, Subgroup analysis for all false-positive alerts. In addition to the 49% of false-positive alerts that were made in admissions during which there was at least one episode of AKI, many of the remaining false-positive alerts were made in patients who had evidence of clinical risk factors present in their available electronic health record data. These risk factors are shown here for the proposed model that predicts any stage of AKI occurring within the next 48 h.
