Intraoperative Hypotension Prediction System by Considering Personal Lifestyle and Medical History

Intraoperative hypotension may occur during surgery, depending on the patient's condition and the amount of anesthetics administered. Intraoperative hypotension causes adverse events such as myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury, and stroke, which may affect patient prognosis and should be avoided. However, it is challenging to predict intraoperative hypotension before surgery. Therefore, the authors propose a system that predicts the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension with higher accuracy than existing studies to help preventing intraoperative hypotension. Specifically, the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension is predicted by using information about personal lifestyle and medical history obtained from the pre-anesthesia questionnaire in addition to the patients' baseline characteristics such as age and gender that have already been used. The authors constructed prediction model, that predicted intraoperative hypotension with an F-measure of 0.724.
