Are risk prediction models effective for predicting intensive care unit-acquired weakness in ICU patients?
Existing risk prediction models for ICU-acquired weakness show good efficacy but have developmental biases, requiring careful selection and further validation in large, multi-center studies.
The efficacy of most models for the risk prediction of ICU-AW among high-risk groups is good, but there was a certain bias in the development and verification of the models. Thus, ICU medical staff should select existing models based on actual clinical conditions and verify them before applying them in clinical practice. In order to provide a reliable basis for the risk prediction of ICU-AW, it is necessary that large-sample, multi-center studies be conducted in the future, in which ICU-AW risk prediction models are verified.
