Machine learning of routine blood tests predicts spinal cord injury outcomes within days, aiding early treatment decisions.
A University of Waterloo study finds that routine blood tests, analyzed with machine learning, can predict spinal cord injury severity and outcomes—including survival—within days of admission, even before neurological exams.
Using data from over 2,600 U.S. patients, researchers identified patterns in common blood markers like electrolytes and immune cells collected in the first three weeks post-injury.
The models accurately forecasted outcomes early on, with accuracy improving over time, offering a low-cost, widely available tool to guide treatment and resource use in intensive care.
The approach could enhance early prognosis and personalized care for spinal cord injury patients globally.
