Abstract
Sepsis is one of the most frequent causes of death in Intensive Care Units, and its prognosis greatly depend on timeliness of diagnosis. MIMIC-III database is a frequent source of data for developing method for automatic sepsis detection. However, the heterogeneity of data jeopardize the feasibility of the task. In this work we propose a selection strategy for generating high quality data suitable for training a sepsis detection system based on the utilization of only plethysmographic data. Clinical relevance A system for detecting sepsis based only on PPG may be potentially at virtually no cost in any case clinicians suspect the possibility of developing sepsis.
