Identificação de Fenótipos Clínicos e Desfechos da Transfusão de Hemácias em UTI Baseada em Trajetórias Fisiológicas
Resumo
Decisões de transfusão de hemácias em UTIs baseiam-se em limiares universais que negligenciam a heterogeneidade dos pacientes. Este estudo propõe um framework de IA utilizando MiniRocket e K-means em dados do MIMIC-IV para identificar fenótipos clínicos com respostas distintas à transfusão. A população foi segmentada em macrofenótipos de benefício e risco conforme trajetórias temporais. Enquanto um grupo teve redução de 6,5% na mortalidade, outro não obteve ganhos e exigiu ventilação mecânica prolongada. Os achados demonstram que a eficácia transfusional depende de trajetórias fisiológicas individuais, apoiando a transição de protocolos fixos para uma medicina personalizada e baseada em dados.
