Early recognition of patients at risk for respiratory failure may provide clinicians with the opportunity to intervene and potentially improve outcomes. Through the development of a random forest model to identify patients at risk for requiring unplanned intubation, we tested the hypothesis that subtle signatures of illness are present in physiological and biochemical time series of PICU patients in the early stages of respiratory decompensation. We included 116 unplanned intubation events as recorded in the National Emergency Airway Registry for Children in 92 PICU admissions over a 29-month period at our institution. We observed that children have a physiologic signature of illness preceding unplanned intubation in the PICU. Generally, it comprises younger age, and abnormalities in electrolyte, hematologic and vital sign parameters. Additionally, given the heterogeneity of the PICU patient population, we found differences in the presentation among the major patient groups \u2013 medical, cardiac surgical, and non-cardiac surgical. At four hours prior to the event, our random forest model demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.766 (0.738 for medical, 0.755 for cardiac surgical, and 0.797 for non-cardiac surgical patients). The multivariable statistical models that captured the physiological and biochemical dynamics leading up to the event of urgent unplanned intubation in a PICU can be repurposed for bedside risk prediction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2022.1016269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,7]],"date-time":"2022-11-07T13:21:41Z","timestamp":1667827301000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Signatures of illness in children requiring unplanned intubation in the pediatric intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort machine-learning study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Michael C.","family":"Spaeder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
