Deep-learning-based real-time prediction of acute kidney injury outperforms human predictive performance

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication after cardiothoracic surgery. Early prediction of AKI could prompt preventive measures, but is challenging in the clinical routine. One important reason is that the amount of postoperative data is too massive and too high-dimensional to be e...
