CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF PULMONARY EDEMA IN CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS

摘要

A system and method for diagnosing pulmonary edema. The system and method perform the steps of comparing patient information to a list of predictors in a predictor database to identify patient predictors, assigning points based on the identified patient predictors, adding the points to determine an aggregated number of points, and determining a probability of one of acute respiratory distress syndrome or cardiogenic pulmonary edema based on the aggregated number of points.
