Abstract :In burn patients, lipolysis, proteolysis, glycolysis and many severe hyperdynamic and hypermetabolic responses are seen with high fever. These hypermetabolic responses seen in patients lead to a decrease in lean muscle mass, delayed wound healing, weakening of the immune system, coagulopathy, and mortality. Particularly in the first 24 hours after major burns, fluid accumulation is observed in the interstitial space due to increased vascular permeability. Decreased intravascular volume affects tissue perfusion if not intervened. And the risk of coagulopathy increases due to acute burns. One of the most important causes of mortality in burn patients is seen as coagulopathy. Therefore, the application of machine learning-based decision support systems for rapid pre-diagnosis of coagulopathy may be important for clinicians and healthcare administrators. In this study, machine learning models were investigated for the estimation of the risk of coagulopathy due to acute burns, using a data set of 1040 burn patients and 35 different biochemical parameters of these patients. The Subspace KNN model showed the highest prediction success compared to other machine learning methods with 100% accuracy.
