Establishing Malnutrition Diagnosis System by Using Artificial-intelligence Technology

Completed

• Conditions: Disease-related Malnutrition

• Registration Number: NCT04776070
• Lead Sponsor: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Brief Summary

The prevalence of malnutrition is estimated at 30-50% of hospitalized patients in China. Disease-related malnutrition increases the risk of infection, mortality, length of hospitalization as well as the economic burden. National Nutrition Plan proposed to reduce malnutrition, but a clear, effective roadmap and protocol has not existed yet. Several factors impede to resolve the above challenges. They include :1) the low efficiency of current malnutrition diagnosis methods; 2) the lack of dynamic, standard method that can evaluate nutritional status in quantitative way. To this end, the investigators aim to establish an artificial-intelligence malnutrition diagnosis system to improve the application of malnutrition Clinical Pathway. Firstly, the investigators will establish a multidimensional malnutrition large data set, based on our previously built national hospital nutrition screening data set.

It will contain deep 3D facial images, semi-structured and structured electronic medical record. Then, the investigators will use ensemble learning algorithm to establish a fully automatic, artificial-intelligence malnutrition diagnosis model that includes both etiological and phenotypic diagnosis.
