Eight independent predictors of subsyndromal delirium were identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Four machine learning models and a logistic regression model were constructed and validated to obtain the optimal algorithmic model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Subsyndromal delirium occurred in 90 ICU patients (20.1%). Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire score, sedative use, restraint tape use, receipt of continuous renal replacement therapy or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intra-abdominal pressure, prealbumin level, history of alcohol consumption, and stroke were independent predictors of subsyndromal delirium. Of the 4 machine learning models constructed, the random forest model had the best comprehensive performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.885; F1 score, 0.629).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four machine learning\u2013based risk prediction models and 1 traditional logistic regression model were developed to predict risk of subsyndromal delirium in ICU patients.
