| Abstract | Anesthesiologists are taught to carefully manage patient vital signs during surgery. Unfortunately, there is little empirical evidence that vital sign management, as currently practiced, is correlated with patient outcomes. We seek to validate or repudiate current clinical practice and determine whether or not clinician evaluation of surgical vital signs correlate with outcomes. Using a database of over 90,000 cases, we attempt to determine whether those cases that anesthesiologists would subjectively decide are “low quality” are more likely to result in negative outcomes. The problem reduces to one of multi-dimensional time-series classification. Our approach is to have a set of expert anesthesiologists independently label a small number of training cases, from which we build classifiers and label all 90,000 cases. We then use the labeling to search for correlation with outcomes and compare the prevalence of important 30-day outcomes between providers. To mimic the providers’ quality labels, we consider several standard classification methods, such as dynamic time warping in conjunction with a kNN classifier, as well as complexity invariant distance, and a regression based upon the feature extraction methods outlined by Mao et al. 2012 (using features such as time-series mean, standard deviation, skew, etc.). We also propose a new feature selection mechanism that learns a hidden Markov model to segment the time series; the fraction of time that each series spends in each state is used to label the series using a regression-based classifier. In the end, we obtain strong, empirical evidence that current best practice is correlated with reduced negative patient outcomes. We also learn that all of the experts were able to significantly separate cases by outcome, with higher prevalence of negative 30-day outcomes in the cases labeled as “low quality” for almost all of the outcomes investigated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
