Research on algorithms for identifying the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome patients based on noninvasive parameters

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious threat to human life and health disease, with acute onset and high mortality. The current diagnosis of the disease depends on blood gas analysis results, while calculating the oxygenation index. However, blood gas analysis is an invasive operation, and can't continuously monitor the development of the disease. In response to the above problems, in this study, we proposed a new algorithm for identifying the severity of ARDS disease. Based on a variety of non-invasive physiological parameters of patients, combined with feature selection techniques, this paper sorts the importance of various physiological parameters. The cross-validation technique was used to evaluate the identification performance. The classification results of four supervised learning algorithms using neural network, logistic regression, AdaBoost and Bagging were compared under different feature subsets. The optimal feature subset and classification algorithm are comprehensively selected
