Researchers have developed a novel game-based comparison method to infer the consequences of mechanical ventilation (MV) protocols from observational clinical data. This approach addresses the challenge of a high-dimensional state space and sparsely sampled data in critical care by utilizing reinforcement learning (RL). The method infers context- and time-dependent reward processes, which are crucial for optimizing and personalizing MV strategies. Initial validation on synthetic data and subsequent application to real-world ICU data demonstrate that breath-type consequences and their ordering are inherently variable across patient subgroups and time.
