New healthcare predictive analytics are revolutionized in recent years due to the emergence of deep learning techniques, as they provide unprecedented chances of early disease detection and improved patient’s outcomes. In this study, we introduce a novel deep learning framework for early sepsis detection, a life threatening condition due to system’s excessive reaction to an infection of about 11 million deaths per year. To validate our model, we applied it to comprehensive electronic health records (EHRs) from a multi-hospital diverse dataset including vital signs, laboratory results, medication data, patient demographics and applied a permutation test. Our framework utilizing recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with attention mechanisms exploits recurrent patterns and key relationships in patient data hidden by conventional screening tools. Secondly, the model predicts sepsis onset up to 24 hours before clinical diagnosis with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.91, sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.87. Across several patient populations, performance evaluation indicates robust generalizability, and it may be suitable for wide clinical implementation. With preliminary implementation studies showing clinical improvements of 30% when this system is used to alert clinicians to intervene, it is an early warning system allowing clinicians to act early to save sepsis related mortality. A collaborative approach with healthcare providers is taken to address integration challenges of data standardization, model interpretability and adoption of clinical workflow. These findings show that advanced deep learning can be an important breakthrough in sepsis management, providing us with a valuable instrument to defeat this critical and lethal condition earlier with enhanced target binding of therapeutic interventions.
