BETWEEN-PATIENT COMPARISONS FOR RISK STRATIFICATION OF FUTURE HEART FAILURE DECOMPENSATION

摘要

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for using between-patient comparisons for risk stratification of future heart failure decompensation. A method comprises receiving patient data of a current patient, the patient data collected by a patient monitoring device; determining a reference group related to the patient; determining a reference group dataset selected from the reference group, wherein the dataset includes patient data that is of a similar type received from the patient monitoring device; generating a model of the reference group dataset; and automatically comparing the received physiological data to a model to derive an index for the patient.
