....once it has been constructed. Also, the variables and associated values that are recorded in the data collection should match the variables and values that are to be modeled in the network, or should at least admit transformation into these variables and values without too much loss of information [Lucas et al. 2000]. The data collection should further comprise enough data to allow for reliable identification of probabilistic relationships among the variables discerned and to provide for reliable probability assessments. In an insu#ciently large data collection, the various subsets from which probabilities ....

....required by a decision support system are already, at least partially, available on line, the burden of getting clinicians to deploy decision support systems in every day practice is also rendered less large. Within three of four ICUs in the University Medical Centre Utrecht a clinical information system (C2000, sold by the Eclipsys corporation) is used to collect the data generated by the medical equipment connected to the patient, as well as for the gathering, storage and retrieval of clinical data, such as the medical history and the results of physical examination. The data are stored in a modern ....

....of their use in medical decision making, in particular diagnosis, prognostic) prediction and treatment selection. A BN model that was developed to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and selection of antibiotic treatment for patients with pneumonia in the ICU is taken as a running example [5]. 2 Modelling Developing a model of a realistic medical problem is usually far from easy, and using Bayesian networks yields no exception in this respect. As is the case with other representation formalisms, there are particular guidelines which facilitate developing a BN [4] We start by ....
....function to the interval 27 , and Bayesian network inference algorithms can be used to determine (the sequence of) optimal decisions. In the VAP model, this mapping is very straightforward, as there is only one decision to make (antibiotic therapy) The actual mapping is derived in Ref. [5]. 4 Evaluation Evaluation of a Bayesian network and decision theoretic system is not much different from evaluation of any decision support system. Measures such as true positive and true negative rates can be determines, as accuracy and predictive power for a test dataset with patient data. As ....
