Abstract

Pneumonia is the most common infectious disease picked up in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and accounts for nearly 27% of all hospital infections—from 5% to 40% of ICU patients on mechanical ventilation risk getting infected by ventilator-associated pneumonia. Fortunately, by identifying patients more likely to contract pneumonia, up to 50% of ventilator-associated pneumonia infections can be avoided. To our knowledge, this is the first study that tackles the problem of identifying ICU patients with a high risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia in Saudi hospitals, considering the impact of ventilator bundle compliance rates on the predicted results. Five machine learning models were built using two real life datasets from the Health Electronic Surveillance Network (HESN) at the Saudi Ministry of Health. Results show that including ventilator bundle compliance rates data in the prediction process yields improved results in general; however, the extent of enhancement varies across models.
