Study II (published)
Breathing emergencies: conditional risk, heterogeneity, and response time
Study II uses interpretability-first exploratory modelling to characterise non-linear patterns and heterogeneity in breathing-problem missions—supporting system understanding of delay burden and vulnerability rather than automation.
Interpretability note: Modelling is used as a measurement tool (e.g., partial dependence / related approaches) to describe heterogeneity and non-linear patterns, not as a deployable triage/dispatch system. Conventional performance metrics are contextual only.
Aim
To characterise heterogeneity and non-linear associations relevant to delay burden and conditional risk in prehospital breathing emergencies.
Design (high-level)
- Retrospective observational analysis of routine EMS data
- Distribution-first emphasis (including tail delays)
- Interpretability-first reporting for responsible interpretation
