·clinical-trialsA completed Spanish study of 1,241 ICU patients has applied machine learning algorithms to predict prolonged mechanical ventilation (≥7 days) in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure using only 48-hour clinical data. The PANDORA cohort analysis compares ML approaches against logistic regression to identify the minimum variable set needed for accurate early prediction — with significant implications for ICU resource planning and weaning protocol initiation.
