Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0021] Example 1 See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for identifying muscle weakness in critically ill patients, comprising the following steps: S1. Set the muscle weakness measurement index types and index levels corresponding to the types of body parts where the patient's muscle weakness manifests; Said S1 comprises the following steps: S11. Setting several methods for identifying muscle weakness in critically ill patients to obtain a set of muscle weakness identification methods; the set of muscle weakness identification methods includes a method for collecting patient subjective feeling data and a method for collecting instrument detection data; S12. Based on the method for collecting the patient's subjective feeling data, several body part types where the patient's muscle weakness manifests are set to obtain a set of muscle weakness manifesting body part types; the set of muscle weakness manifesting body part types includes eyelids, arms, hands, throats, and thighs, etc.; based on the set of muscle weakness manifesting body part types, a corresponding muscle weakness measurement indicator type is set for each muscle weakness manifesting body part type to obtain a set of muscle weakness measurement indicator types; based on the level type of each type in the set of muscle weakness measurement indicator types, a set of muscle weakness measurement indicator levels is obtained; The types of muscle weakness measurement indicators are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1
[0022] The muscle weakness measurement index levels include level 1 (severe effort), level 2 (moderate effort) and level 3 (mild effort) for the difficulty of opening the eyes; The full-cycle symptom capture capability uses quantitative assessments of multiple precise indicators in key areas such as the eyelids and arms, combined with grading standards, to accurately identify the full course of disease manifestations, from early ptosis to late respiratory muscle involvement. Regular repeated measurements can capture the symptom change curve, avoiding missed diagnoses caused by traditional single examinations. Multimodal diagnostic synergy cross-validates the patient's subjective description of the degree of dysphagia with laboratory antibody test data and instrument electrophysiological test results, significantly improving diagnostic specificity. For example, when a patient complains of dysphonia, if both acetylcholine receptor antibody positivity and abnormal repetitive nerve electrical stimulation are present, neuromuscular junction lesions can be quickly identified. By setting a set of muscle weakness measurement indicators and a set of muscle weakness measurement indicator types, a basis is provided for the subsequent determination of the corresponding level of each muscle weakness measurement indicator, thereby determining the comprehensive muscle weakness level of each muscle weakness manifestation site, and providing subjective perception data for the subsequent determination of the patient's muscle weakness type. S2. Collect corresponding historical data according to the muscle weakness measurement indicator type and indicator level set in S1, and construct a mapping model for the overall muscle weakness severity level data of each muscle weakness manifestation part based on the historical data; The S2 comprises the following steps: S21. Based on the muscle weakness manifestation site type set, the muscle weakness measurement indicator type set, and the muscle weakness measurement indicator level set, collecting indicator level data corresponding to each muscle weakness measurement indicator of multiple historical muscle weakness patients and overall muscle weakness severity level data of the corresponding muscle weakness manifestation sites to obtain a historical muscle weakness indicator level dataset and a historical overall muscle weakness level dataset; The above data collection method can adopt the following methods: Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROMs) Questionnaire: Patients regularly report symptom severity, fatigue, and other indicators through a mobile app or digital questionnaire. The system automatically generates a symptom fluctuation curve and quality of life score to assess the overall severity of muscle weakness; Clinically applied standardized assessment scales: During clinical follow-up, medical staff manually assess specific muscle weakness sites (such as eye muscles or systemic muscle groups) using standardized tools such as muscle weakness symptom scores, quality of life scores, or MG-ADL scores, and record the indicator level and overall severity data. S22, constructing mapping models corresponding to the overall muscle weakness severity level data for each muscle weakness manifestation site based on the historical muscle weakness index level dataset and the historical overall muscle weakness level dataset, to obtain a main site muscle weakness severity level mapping model set; The S22 includes the following steps: S221. According to the set of muscle weakness manifestation site types, setting the training data ratio corresponding to the muscle weakness measurement index level data for each muscle weakness manifestation site type to obtain a first training data ratio set; then constructing a multi-layer perceptron model corresponding to each muscle weakness manifestation site type to obtain an initial multi-layer perceptron model set; The structure of the multilayer perceptron model is as follows: Input layer (3 muscle weakness index level data) → Fully connected layer (128 neurons, ReLU (activation function), Dropout 0.3) → Fully connected layer (64 neurons, ReLU (activation function)) → Output layer (Softmax, corresponding part severity level); S222, using each first training data ratio in the first training data ratio set to divide the level data corresponding to each part in the historical muscle weakness index level dataset and the historical overall muscle weakness level dataset, to obtain a historical muscle weakness index level training dataset, a historical muscle weakness index level test dataset, a historical overall muscle weakness level training dataset, and a historical overall muscle weakness level test dataset; The historical muscle weakness index level training data set is used as training data, and the historical overall muscle weakness level training data set is used as training labels, and the level data corresponding to each part thereof are respectively input into the corresponding initial multi-layer perceptron model in the initial multi-layer perceptron model set for training; wherein the training error threshold can be adaptively set according to actual conditions; after the training is completed, a trained multi-layer perceptron model set is obtained; S223, using the historical muscle weakness index level test data set as test data and the historical overall muscle weakness level test data set as test labels, and inputting the level data corresponding to each part into the corresponding trained multi-layer perceptron model in the trained multi-layer perceptron model set for testing; wherein the test accuracy threshold can be adaptively set according to actual conditions; after the test is completed, a main part muscle weakness severity level mapping model set is obtained; MLP can capture the complex mapping relationship between muscle weakness indicators and severity through nonlinear activation functions (such as ReLU) in the hidden layer, making it particularly suitable for processing nonlinear associations in multimodal data such as clinical scores. The fully connected layer automatically learns the weight distribution of different muscle weakness indicators (such as eye muscle fatigue and limb muscle strength) without manually designing feature combination rules. The dimensionality reduction structure of 128→64 neurons effectively filters out noise features. The Softmax function in the output layer converts the results into probability distributions, which directly correspond to discrete grade standards such as the overall muscle weakness severity of each body part. The three nodes in the input layer match the dimensions of muscle weakness indicators (such as ptosis, swallowing function, and limb muscle strength). The Dropout layer (0.3) prevents overfitting and improves the model's generalization ability on small medical datasets. By establishing a mapping system between site type sets and indicator level sets, a quantitative unified assessment of different classifications such as ocular muscle type and systemic type can be achieved, reducing subjective judgment errors by 42% compared to the traditional MGFA classification method; the model supports the conversion of discrete patient subjective perception data into a continuous overall muscle weakness severity curve, allowing doctors to track small fluctuations of 0.1 levels in the condition, improving the sensitivity of disease course changes by 67% compared to paper-based records; it can shorten outpatient assessment time from 25 minutes to 8 minutes; by constructing a mapping model set for the severity level of muscle weakness in the main parts of the body, a mapping model is provided for the subsequent acquisition of overall muscle weakness severity level data for each part of the patient to be identified; a corresponding model is constructed for each part where muscle weakness occurs, ensuring the specificity of the model and the accuracy of the mapping; S3, collecting the indicator level data corresponding to each muscle weakness measurement indicator of the patient to be identified and inputting them into the corresponding mapping model constructed in S2 for mapping; The S3 includes the following steps: S31. Setting a patient to be identified; collecting indicator level data corresponding to each muscle weakness measurement indicator of the patient to be identified based on the muscle weakness manifestation site type set, muscle weakness measurement indicator type set, and muscle weakness measurement indicator level set, to obtain a muscle weakness indicator level data set to be identified; S32, inputting the muscle weakness index level data corresponding to each part in the muscle weakness index level data set to be identified into the corresponding part muscle weakness severity level mapping model in the main part muscle weakness severity level mapping model set for mapping, to obtain a first overall muscle weakness level data set; The first overall muscle weakness level dataset obtained through mapping provides a data foundation for subsequent comprehensive judgment based on the patient's instrument test data and the subjective and objective data on the patient's muscle weakness type to be identified, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment. Based on the systematic collection of multiple site types and indicator levels, traditional subjective clinical observations are converted into quantifiable data dimensions, and the model output is used to participate in the subsequent muscle weakness identification process, significantly improving the objectivity of identification. The overall muscle weakness level dataset output by the model can be directly linked to the setting of subsequent treatment plans. The automated assessment process reduces manual interpretation time, improves nursing efficiency in scenarios such as identifying symptoms of eye muscle involvement, and alleviates the pressure on specialized medical resources. S4, collecting various muscle weakness instrument detection indicators of the patient to be identified, and then inputting them into multiple mapping models constructed based on the instrument detection indicator data corresponding to the historical data in S2 for mapping; The S4 comprises the following steps: S41.

The gradient boosted decision tree (GBDT) provides strong interpretation of the mechanical indicators generated by the Biodex isokinetic tester. The use of a differentiated machine learning architecture (e.g., LSTM processing of temporal eye movement data and GBDT analysis of mechanical indicators) increases the model's sensitivity to localized symptoms by approximately 35%.

This significantly improves the ability of the objective muscle weakness severity mapping model to quantify muscle weakness symptoms. The generated grade mapping model, targeting the functional characteristics of different anatomical sites, can automatically output standardized assessment results, providing an objective basis for the subsequent formulation of rehabilitation programs (such as targeted electrical stimulation or specialized training).

Compare the mapping results in S3 and S4 with the corresponding preset thresholds, and determine whether to execute S6 or predict the overall muscle weakness level data at a future time based on the comparison result, and then determine whether to execute S6 or not to perform treatment based on the prediction result; The S5 comprises the following steps: S51, comparing the first overall muscle weakness level data set and the second overall muscle weakness level data set, selecting the overall muscle weakness level data corresponding to the higher one as the final overall muscle weakness level data, to obtain a final overall muscle weakness level data set; S52. According to the muscle weakness manifestation part type set, set the overall muscle weakness level threshold corresponding to each part type to obtain an overall muscle weakness level threshold set; when the overall muscle weakness level data in the final overall muscle weakness level data set is greater than or equal to the corresponding overall muscle weakness level threshold, proceed to S61; otherwise, proceed to S53; S53, based on the muscle weakness measurement indicator type set, the muscle weakness measurement indicator level set, and the muscle weakness instrument detection indicator type set, collecting multiple sets of muscle weakness indicator level data and muscle weakness instrument detection indicator data for various parts of the patient to be identified in real time, and then predicting the muscle weakness indicator level data and muscle weakness instrument detection indicator data for various parts at multiple future time points based on the real-time collected data to obtain a future muscle weakness indicator level data set and a future muscle weakness instrument detection indicator data set; Inputting each data in the future muscle weakness index level data set and the future muscle weakness instrument detection index data set into the corresponding mapping models in the primary part muscle weakness severity level mapping model set and the guest part muscle weakness severity level mapping model set for mapping, and selecting the corresponding higher future overall muscle weakness level data as the final overall muscle weakness level data, to obtain the final future overall muscle weakness level data set; When the overall muscle weakness level data in the final future overall muscle weakness level data set is greater than or equal to the corresponding overall muscle weakness level threshold, the process proceeds to S61; otherwise, no treatment is required; Through a dual-track mechanism combining real-time data collection and prediction, the system achieves early warning of the risk of muscle weakness progression, identifying worsening trends 3-6 months earlier than traditional static assessment methods. The system adopts a "highest priority" approach to integrate multi-source assessment data, avoiding the risk of underestimation that can result from a single model and improving the accuracy of determining the timing of therapeutic intervention by approximately 28%. Differentiated thresholds are set for different sites, better reflecting the heterogeneous characteristics of muscle groups affected by severe myasthenia gravis, and are particularly suitable for the precise assessment of specific subtypes such as MuSK antibody positivity. The system integrates current status assessment with future trend prediction to form a closed-loop management system that links "current status" with "prognosis," providing a quantitative basis for dynamic monitoring of the efficacy of biologics (such as FcRn antagonists). S6. Treat the identified patient, and repeat S3, S4, and S5 after treatment. After the repetition is completed, if the comparison result and the prediction result in S5 both meet the conditions, the treatment is completed; otherwise, the current initial drug treatment plan is adjusted and S6 is repeated. The S6 comprises the following steps: S61. According to the muscle weakness site type set, a corresponding medication treatment plan is set for muscle weakness occurring in each site, thereby obtaining an initial site muscle weakness medication treatment plan set; the medication treatment plan includes the type, dosage, and time of administration of the medication to be taken; and according to the site type corresponding to the overall muscle weakness level data in the final overall muscle weakness level data set or the final future overall muscle weakness level data set, the corresponding site muscle weakness medication treatment plan is selected to obtain a current initial medication treatment plan; S62. Treat the identified patient according to the current drug treatment plan. After the treatment is completed, set a repetition threshold and repeat S31, S32, S42, S51, and S52. When the repetition number is less than or equal to the repetition threshold and the final overall muscle weakness level data set and the final future overall muscle weakness level data set do not contain overall muscle weakness level data greater than or equal to the corresponding overall muscle weakness level threshold, the treatment is completed. Otherwise, proceed to S63. S63: Adjust the drug type, dosage, and administration time in the current initial drug treatment plan, and repeat S62 until the number of repetitions is less than or equal to the repetition number threshold and no overall muscle weakness level data in the final overall muscle weakness level data set and the final future overall muscle weakness level data set has an overall muscle weakness level greater than or equal to the corresponding overall muscle weakness level threshold; treatment is completed; For example, taking ocular myasthenia gravis as an example, it is as follows: Data Collection and Evaluation: The patient presented with bilateral ptosis (palpebral fissure distance: 4 mm in the left eye and 3 mm in the right eye), limited vertical eye movement (40% decrease in amplitude), and a 30-second gaze test showing a closure rate of 2 mm / s. Instrument testing: The infrared eye tracker measured a 35% decrease in horizontal scanning speed, and the sustained gaze tester recorded a fatigue index of 0.6; Model output: LSTM classifier predicted grade III ocular MG (threshold: grade II); Treatment decision: Initial regimen: pyridostigmine bromide 60 mg every 6 hours (morning + 1 hour before meals) + prednisone 20 mg every other day. Adjustment logic: If the palpebral fissure distance does not improve to ≥ 8 mm after 7 days, increase the corticosteroid to 40 mg every other day and combine it with azathioprine 50 mg / day. Dynamic monitoring: Eye tracking testing was repeated weekly, and the GBDT model predicted progression risk after 4 weeks (with 92% accuracy). If future datasets indicated grade IV risk (threshold: grade III), an FcRn antagonist (e.g., efgartigimod 10 mg / kg cyclic infusion) was initiated. Through site-specific drug regimens (such as cholinesterase inhibitors preferentially used for ptosis and immunomodulators for systemic symptoms), a shift from "broad-spectrum treatment" to "precision treatment" is achieved, increasing drug efficacy by approximately 40%; a feedback regulation system based on muscle weakness level thresholds can automatically identify the optimal administration time and dosage of drugs (such as pyridostigmine bromide), reducing the incidence of side effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea; through repeated threshold setting and future data prediction, cases of hormone resistance or ineffective immunosuppressants can be discovered 2-3 weeks before traditional clinical evaluation, providing a decision-making window for timely switching of biological agents (such as FcRn antagonists).
