Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of blood culture, in particular to a dynamic algorithm for judging blood culture positive. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sepsis has become a major health care problem due to its high incidence and high mortality in hospitals, and bloodstream infection (BSI) is a major cause of sepsis. In hospital clinics and medical research trials, blood culture is an important microbiological examination method for detecting the presence of bacteria in blood samples. It plays a crucial role in quickly detecting whether bacteria grow in the blood of patients with clinically severe sepsis and bacteremia to confirm the diagnosis, and is one of the most important and common bacterial examination items.

[0003] Existing automatic blood culture systems can detect the presence of microorganisms in blood within 1-48 hours and exclude the presence of microorganisms within 5 days. However, in medical examination practice, the positive judgment algorithm of existing blood culture instruments mostly adopts a fixed threshold method, which has obvious defects.

[0004] On the one hand, the amount of blood collected is an important factor affecting the test results. When the amount of blood collected is too much, the carbon dioxide contained in the blood will cause changes in the culture bottle sensor, which may interfere with the sensor and cause false positive results.

[0005] On the other hand, the patient's own white blood cell count can also affect the test. When the patient has too many white blood cells, the metabolic activity of white blood cells may produce signals similar to microbial growth, thereby interfering with the culture bottle detection and also causing false positives.

[0006] Currently, there is no good solution to this problem. The existing processing method is only limited to standardizing the blood collection process, or analyzing the causes when false positive results occur, and does not realize the dynamic correlation of patient's basic blood volume information and white blood cell count with culture bottle detection information. This makes the existing technology unable to comprehensively and accurately judge the positive results of blood culture, resulting in a high false positive rate of blood culture, which greatly disturbs clinical diagnosis and affects the timeliness and accuracy of disease diagnosis, which is not conducive to effective treatment of patients.

The algorithm can calculate the dynamic positive judgment threshold according to real-time data, effectively reduce the false positive rate caused by excessive blood sampling volume or excessive white blood cells of patients, significantly improve the accuracy and timeliness of blood culture detection, provide more reliable basis for clinical diagnosis, help doctors to develop reasonable treatment plans in time, and improve the treatment effect and survival rate of patients.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples, so that the realization process of how to apply technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects of the present application can be fully understood and implemented.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the application provides a dynamic algorithm for judging blood culture positivity, which includes three steps of data collection, model establishment and dynamic judgment.

[0042] The data collection step includes:

[0043] A blood volume monitoring module is arranged on the blood culture bottle, which uses at least one of a pressure sensor, a weight sensor or a visual system to monitor the liquid level, for accurately measuring the blood sampling volume; after the blood sample is collected and injected into the blood culture bottle, the blood volume monitoring module acquires real-time blood sampling volume data.

[0044] When the blood culture bottle is connected to the machine, the white blood cell count detection result of the patient is automatically obtained through the interface with the hospital laboratory information system (LIS), and the result includes the information related to the number of white blood cells.

[0045] The model establishment step includes establishing a relationship model between the blood sampling volume and the signal of the culture bottle receptor.

[0046] The method for establishing the relationship model between the blood sampling volume and the signal of the culture bottle receptor is:

[0047] A large amount of detection data of the blood culture bottle under different blood sampling volumes is collected, including the signal strength and change trend of the receptor; and the influence law of the blood sampling volume on the signal of the receptor is analyzed by statistical methods or machine learning algorithms to determine the normal signal range and abnormal signal characteristics corresponding to different blood sampling volumes.

[0048] The model establishment step further includes establishing a relationship model between the number of white blood cells and the interference degree of the signal of the receptor.

[0049] The method for establishing the relationship model between the number of white blood cells and the interference degree of the signal of the receptor is:

[0050] The change of the detection signal of the blood culture bottle under different white blood cell counts is analyzed, and the influence coefficient of the white blood cell count on the detection result is determined.

[0058] Embodiment 2

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 The dynamic algorithm for blood culture positive judgment provided by the embodiment of the application includes:

[0060] (I) Data collection:

[0061] 1. Blood amount monitoring module setting and data acquisition:

[0062] A blood amount monitoring module is arranged on the blood culture bottle, and a weight sensor is used in the embodiment. When the blood sample is collected and injected into the blood culture bottle, the weight in the bottle changes, and the blood collection amount is calculated by measuring the weight change of the blood culture bottle, with the blood density being 1.055 g / mL by default. For example, data on the influence of different blood collection amounts (0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 18, 20, 25, 28, 30, 35 ml) on detection data change are collected, and the change of detection values under different blood collection amounts is recorded, as shown in the following table:

[0063]

[0064] 2. White blood cell detection result acquisition:

[0065] When the blood culture bottle is uploaded, the patient's routine white blood cell count test result is automatically obtained through the interface with the hospital laboratory information system (LIS). A special communication module is set on the blood culture instrument to connect with the hospital LIS system, and a standard communication protocol (such as HL7 protocol) is used to realize automatic data acquisition. When the blood culture bottle is uploaded, the communication module sends a request to the LIS system to obtain the white blood cell test result (including the number of white blood cells and other related information) of the corresponding patient, and transmits the result to the data processing unit;

[0066] (ii) Model establishment

[0067] Blood volume and culture bottle sensor signal relationship model establishment

[0068] Using big data analysis technology, the collected historical blood culture data (including blood culture bottle detection data under different blood volumes, such as sensor signal strength, change trend, etc.) are processed. Linear, binomial, trinomial, tetranomial, pentanomial, etc. Fitting method is used to establish the curve of the influence of different blood volumes on the detection data, so as to establish the relationship of calculating the influence of detection data according to the blood volume. This embodiment adopts binomial fitting method with intercept 0, and establishes the relationship between blood volume and detection value change as: y = 0.0489x + 87.114x, R = 0.9986. Through the model, the normal signal range and abnormal signal characteristics corresponding to different blood volumes can be determined. 2 2

[0069] White blood cell count and sensor signal interference degree relationship model establishment

[0070] The patient's white blood cell test result is associated with the blood culture bottle detection information for analysis, and a large amount of data on the change of blood culture bottle detection signal under different white blood cell counts is collected. Through statistical methods or machine learning algorithms (such as random forest, support vector machine, etc.), the influence law of different white blood cell counts on the detection result is analyzed, the interference coefficient of white blood cell count on the detection signal is determined, and the relationship model of white blood cell count and sensor signal interference degree is established.

[0071] (iii) Dynamic judgment

[0072] 1. Dynamic positive judgment model construction:

[0073] ​​The data processing unit receives the blood volume data collected by the blood volume monitoring module, the white blood cell detection result obtained by the LIS system, and the sensor signal detected by the culture bottle in real time. First, according to the blood volume data and the established relationship model of blood volume and sensor signal, the normal signal reference range and the adjustment coefficient under the blood volume are determined; then, according to the white blood cell detection result and the relationship model of white blood cell quantity and signal interference degree, the interference value of white blood cells to the detection signal is calculated; then, the real-time detected sensor signal is corrected, and the interference value is subtracted, and the judgment threshold is adjusted according to the adjustment coefficient; finally, a dynamic positive judgment model is constructed.

[0074] 2. Dynamic positive judgment threshold calculation and result judgment:

[0075] According to the dynamic positive judgment model, the dynamic positive judgment threshold of each culture bottle is calculated. Assuming that the blood volume of a patient is x milliliters, the initial detected sensor signal intensity is S0, and the real-time detected sensor signal intensity is S. Then the dynamic threshold T = S0 + 0.0489x 2 +87.114x. Compare the real-time detected sensor signal of the culture bottle with the calculated dynamic threshold value, if the signal exceeds the dynamic threshold value, it is judged as blood culture positive; otherwise, it is judged as negative;

[0076] (4) Verification comparison

[0077] The following samples are selected for dynamic threshold verification and comparison with the existing navy blue threshold algorithm (static threshold, the present embodiment assumes 3000). The real-time signal value, dynamic threshold, dynamic threshold result, static threshold and static threshold result under different blood volumes are recorded as shown in the following table:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] From the test data in the above table, compared with the existing static threshold, the dynamic threshold has no false positive data, and the static threshold has 16 false positive samples in the high blood volume samples. This shows that the dynamic threshold algorithm can effectively avoid false positives caused by excessive blood volume, and improves the accuracy of blood culture.

[0082] The working principle of the present application is:

[0083] 1. Data acquisition:

[0084] Blood volume monitoring module setting and data acquisition: Set up a blood volume monitoring module on the blood culture bottle. In Example 1, at least one of the following methods is used to monitor the liquid level: pressure sensor, weight sensor, or visual system. In Example 2, a weight sensor is used. The blood culture bottle is placed on a weighing platform, and the blood volume is calculated by measuring the weight change of the blood culture bottle (assuming a blood density of 1.055 g / mL). The changes in detection values at different blood volumes are recorded. This method can accurately measure the blood volume, providing accurate data for subsequent model establishment.

[0085] White blood cell detection result acquisition: When the blood culture bottle is placed in the machine, the patient's routine white blood cell count detection result is automatically obtained through the interface with the hospital laboratory information system (LIS). A special communication module is set up on the blood culture instrument, and a standard communication protocol (such as HL7 protocol) is used to connect with the hospital LIS system to realize automatic data acquisition. This ensures that the patient's white blood cell count and other related information can be obtained in time for subsequent analysis of the interference of white blood cell count on the detection signal.

[0086] 2. Model establishment:

[0087] Blood volume and culture bottle sensor signal relationship model establishment: Using big data analysis technology, the collected historical blood culture data (including detection data of blood culture bottles under different blood volumes, such as sensor signal strength, change trend, etc.) are processed. In Example 2, a binomial fitting method with an intercept of 0 is used to establish the relationship between blood volume and detection value change: y = 0.0489x + 87.114x, R = 0.9986. Through this model, the normal signal range and abnormal signal characteristics corresponding to different blood volumes can be determined, and the quantitative relationship between blood volume and detection signal is clear. 2 2

[0088] White blood cell count and sensor signal interference degree relationship model establishment: Correlation analysis is performed between the patient's white blood cell detection results and the blood culture bottle detection information, and a large amount of data on the change of blood culture bottle detection signal under different white blood cell counts is collected. Through statistical methods or machine learning algorithms (such as random forest, support vector machine, etc.), the influence of different white blood cell counts on the detection results is analyzed, the interference coefficient of white blood cell count on the detection signal is determined, and the relationship model between white blood cell count and sensor signal interference degree is established. This helps to understand the interference degree of white blood cell metabolic activity on the detection signal, so as to make corrections in subsequent judgments.

[0089] 3. Dynamic judgment:

[0090] ​​Dynamic positive judgment model construction: The data processing unit receives the blood volume data collected by the blood volume monitoring module, the white blood cell detection results obtained by the LIS system, and the sensor signals detected by the culture bottle in real time. First, according to the blood volume data and the established relationship model between blood volume and sensor signals, the baseline range of normal signals and the adjustment coefficient under the blood volume are determined; then, according to the white blood cell detection results and the relationship model between the number of white blood cells and the degree of signal interference, the interference value of white blood cells on the detection signal is calculated; then, the real-time detected sensor signal is corrected, and the interference value is subtracted, and the judgment threshold is adjusted according to the adjustment coefficient; finally, the dynamic positive judgment model is constructed. This process considers the influence of blood volume and white blood cell number on the detection signal, so that the judgment model is more in line with the actual situation.

[0091] Dynamic positive judgment threshold calculation and result judgment: According to the dynamic positive judgment model, the dynamic positive judgment threshold of each culture bottle is calculated. For example, assuming that the blood volume of a patient is x milliliters, the initial detected sensor signal strength is S0, and the real-time detected sensor signal strength is S. Then the dynamic threshold T = S0 + 0.0489x 2 +87.114x. Compare the real-time detected sensor signal of the culture bottle with the calculated dynamic threshold value, if the signal exceeds the dynamic threshold value, it is judged as blood culture positive; otherwise, it is judged as negative.

[0092] Verification comparison

[0093] The dynamic threshold is verified by selecting samples and compared with the existing static threshold algorithm. From the test data, compared with the existing static threshold, the dynamic threshold has no false positive data, and the static threshold has false positive in samples with high blood volume. This shows that the dynamic threshold algorithm considers factors such as blood volume and white blood cell number, effectively avoids false positives due to excessive blood volume, improves the accuracy of blood culture, and provides a more reliable basis for clinical diagnosis.
