Intervention Granularity Matters: Coherent Treatment Bundles in Counterfactual Simulation with Clinical World Models

The paper investigates how the granularity of interventions—single components versus full treatment bundles—affects counterfactual simulations using a clinical world model. By analyzing 945,707 patient-hours from MIMIC-IV, the authors show that interventions are naturally bundled, and editing a single component often represents an unreal scenario. Experiments with Clin‑JEPA on 1,019 ventilation onsets demonstrate that editing the complete bundle produces larger predicted state changes than editing individual settings, indicating that bundle-aware editing better captures treatment sensitivity.

Offline Reinforcement Learning for Hemodynamic Management of Sepsis in the ICU: a MIMIC-IV Study with Dual Off-Policy Evaluation

The dosing of intravenous fluids and vasopressors in sepsis is a sequential decision made under uncertainty and guided largely by clinical judgment, which makes it a natural target for reinforcement learning from historical care. Because a learned policy cannot be trialed on patients, its value must be estimated off-policy, and such estimates can be fragile and optimistic.

Unmasking Toxic Mimicry in Medical Offline Reinforcement Learning for ICU Sepsis Management via Counterfactual Clinical Audits

arXiv:2608. 11410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers considerable promise for optimizing ICU treatment decisions, yet standard evaluation metrics Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Fitted Q-Evaluation (FQE) assess only behavioral imitation and cannot detect Toxic Mimicry, a failure mode in which agents replicate harmful patterns such as treatment withdrawal during comfort-care transitions.
