Background

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and hypertension (IDHTN) are associated with poor outcomes in hemodialysis patients. However, there is currently no real-time predictive model for dual outcomes. This study aims to develop an explainable deep learning model using a sequence-to-sequence-based attention network to simultaneously predict IDH and IDHTN.

Methods

Electronic health records of 11,110 hemodialysis patients were utilized, comprising 302,774 sessions. The data was divided into training (70%), validation (10%), and test (20%) sets using randomization. IDH-1 was defined as nadir systolic blood pressure (BP) <90 mmHg, IDH-2 as a decrease in systolic BP ≥20 mmHg and/or a decrease in mean arterial pressure ≥10 mmHg, and IDHTN as an increase in systolic BP ≥10 mmHg within 1 hour. The temporal fusion transformer (TFT)-based model was developed and compared with other machine learning models, including recurrent neural network, light gradient boosting machine, random forest, and logistic regression, in terms of model performance measured by receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and area under the precision-recall curves (AUPRC).

Results

The TFT-based model outperformed other models with AUROCs of 0.953 (0.952–0.954), 0.892 (0.891–0.893), and 0.889 (0.888–0.890) for predicting IDH-1, IDH-2, and IDHTN, respectively. The AUPRCs of the TFT-based model for the outcomes were higher compared to other models. Key predictors included age, previous session, systolic BP, and elapsed time.

Conclusion

The developed TFT-based model enables real-time prediction of both IDH and IDHTN while providing explainable variable importance.
