| Description: |
Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is a serious complication of dengue infection which occurs when critical plasma leakage results in haemodynamic shock. Treatment is challenging as fluid therapy must balance the risk of hypoperfusion with volume overload. In this study, we investigate the potential utility of wearable photoplethysmography (PPG) to determine volume status in DSS. In this prospective observational study, we enrolled 250 adults and children with a clinical diagnosis of dengue admitted to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Ho Chi Minh City. PPG monitoring using a wearable device was applied for a 24-hour period. Clinical events were then matched to the PPG data by date and time. We predefined two clinical states for comparison: (1) the 2-hour period before a shock event was an "empty" volume state and (2) the 2-hour period between 1 and 3 hours after a fluid initiation event was a "full" volume state. PPG data were sampled from these states for analysis. Variability and waveform morphology features were extracted and analyzed using principal components analysis and random forest. Waveform images were used to develop a computer vision model. Of the 250 patients enrolled, 90 patients experienced the predefined outcomes, and had sufficient data for the analysis. Principal components analysis identified four principal components (PCs), from the 23 pulse wave features. Logistic regression using these PCs showed that the empty state is associated with PCs 1 (p = 0.016) and 4 (p = 0.036) with both PCs denoting increased sympathetic activity. Random forest showed that heart rate and the LF-HF ratio are the most important features. A computer vision model had a sensitivity of 0.81 and a specificity of 0.70 for the empty state. These results provide proof of concept that an artificial intelligence-based approach using continuous PPG monitoring can provide information on volume states in DSS. |
