Federating Distributed Clinical Data for the Prediction of Adverse Hypotensive EventsAnthony Stell, National e-Science CentreAHM 2008, Edinburgh, UK
Overview
• Adverse hypotensive events• Current monitoring systems• Avert-IT Project• Threshold definitions
– Avert-IT centre definitions– EUSIG definitions
• Data grid• “Hypo-Predict” engine• Progress• Future work
Adverse hypotensive events
“Abnormally low blood pressure”
Various numerical definitions:– BPs > 100; 5mins– BPm > 70; 5mins– Etc…
Current monitoring systems
• Odin browser/monitor– Database browser of information about secondary
insults following head injury
• BioSign– Produces index predicting cardiovascular
instability based on several vital signs (Heart rate, respiration rate, etc.)
• Philips Event Surveillance Monitor– Manual correlation of patient parameters into
discrete “events”
Avert-IT
No single system that can predict the onset of a hypotensive event
over a useful timescale (e.g. half an hour in advance)

BrainIT
• http://www.brainit.org
• “An internet-based group set up to work collaboratively on standards for the collection and analyses of data from brain-injured patients”
• Avert-IT builds on the work of BrainIT– Many causes of events but naturally focus will be
on those related to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)…
Threshold definitions: by Avert-IT centre
Threshold definitions: EUSIG
Edinburgh University Secondary Insult Grade (EUSIG)
Data grid #1: architecture
Lightweight client at clinical end:• Parses output data, packages in SOAP• Connects to grid provider through WS
Data grid provider deconstructsWS and uploads to central repository
End developer connect to this database and use to populate the user interface and the BANN
Data grid #2: clinical end-points
• Many different formats:– Philips DocVu (ASCII text)– BrainIT (Access database)– CMA ICU Pilot (XML)– Health-Level 7 (HL7)
• Parameters used so far:– Blood pressure (BPs, BPd, BPm)– Intra-cranial pressure (ICPm)– Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP)– Heart rate (HRT)– Temperature (TC)– Blood oxygen saturation (SaO2/SpO2)
Data grid #3: security and performance
• Security– Encryption of data in transit and at rest– Locally linked patient identifiers
• Contextual demographic information…• Episodic activity could allow inference…
– Need feedback mechanism to capture consent
• Performance– Database optimisation
• Records for a single patient over 2 days number ~8000 for BrainIT, ~6000 for ICU-Pilot
• Need smart storage solutions
– WS thresholds• May need other connection options?
Hypo-Predict engine
• Decision support tools– Look-up tables, case-based reasoning (CBR),
genetic algorithms (GA), Bayesian belief networks (BBN), artificial neural networks (ANN)
• Bayesian approach to ANN (BANN)– Accounts for probabilities of causative effects– Experience within BrainIT of setting up BANNs
• Tim Howells (Uppsala), author of Odin software
• Train the Hypo-Predict engine on unified data– … then turn into a product and give to individual
centres.
Progress
• Clinical research– Threshold definition agreed upon (< 90;5mins)– Parameter list for data established
• Implementation– Parsers for four out of the seven clinical sources
• BrainIT, Glasgow, Heidelberg, Monza
– Connections established between end-developers (C3) and data grid provider (NeSC-Glasgow) using JDBC
– User interface prototypes developed
Future work
• Distribute parsers and automate WS connections/uploads (subject to validation)– Involves negotiating with sysadmins at various
clinical centres => takes ages…
• Development of the BANN on the data available:– BrainIT database already available– Example sources available for centres already
parsed (still awaiting full, real-time data)
• Consent capture loop to be implemented• Dissemination of work and Hypo-Predict
