• Abstract: Bacteraemia, a bloodstream infection with high morbidity and mortality rates, poses significant diagnostic challenges. Accurate diagnosis through blood cultures is resource-intensive. Developing a machine learning model to predict blood culture outcomes in emergency departments offers potential for improved diagnosis, reduced healthcare costs, and mitigated antibiotic use.This thesis aims to identify optimal machine learning techniques for predicting bacteraemia and develop a predictive model using data from St. Antonius Hospital's emergency department. Based on current literature, CatBoost and Random Forest were selected as the most promising techniques. Model optimization using Optuna prioritized sensitivity.The final Random Forest model achieved an ROC AUC of 0.78 and demonstrated 0.92 sensitivity on the test set. Notably, it accurately identified 36.02% of patients at low risk of bacteraemia, with only 0.85% false negatives.Implementation of this model in St. Antonius Hospital's emergency department could reduce blood cultures, healthcare costs, and antibiotic treatments. Future studies should focus on external validation, exploring advanced techniques, and addressing potential confounders to ensure model generalizability.

  This paper examines the limitations of traditional sepsis screening tools like Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Modified Early Warning Score, and Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment. We propose using machine learning techniques - Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Decision Tree models - to predict sepsis onset. Our study evaluates these models individually and in a combined meta-ensemble approach using key metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 score, and Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve.
