Interventions of intracranial pressure (ICP) elevation in neurocritical care is currently delivered only after healthcare professionals notice sustained and significant mean ICP elevation. The present work used the Morphological Clustering and Analysis of Intracranial Pressure (MOCAIP) algorithm to derive 24 metrics characterizing morphology of ICP pulses and tested the hypothesis that pre-intracranial hypertension (pre-IH) segments of ICP can be differentiated, using these morphological metrics, from control segments that were not associated with any ICP elevation. Furthermore, we investigated whether a global optimization algorithm could effectively find the optimal sub-set of these morphological metrics to achieve better classification performance as compared to using full set of MOCAIP metrics. The results showed that Pre-IH segments, using the optimal sub-set of metrics found by the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, can be differentiated from control segments at a specificity of 97% and sensitivity of 78% for those Pre-IH segments 5 minutes prior to the ICP elevation. While the sensitivity decreased to 68% for Pre-IH segments 20 minutes prior to ICP elevation, the high specificity remained. The performance using the full set of MOCAIP metrics was shown inferior to results achieved using the optimal sub-set of metrics. The present work demonstrated that advanced ICP pulse analysis combined with machine learning could potentially lead to the forecasting of ICP elevation so that a proactive ICP management could be realized based on these accurate forecasts.
