Predictive combinations of monitor alarms preceding in-hospital code blue events

► A novel concept - SuperAlarm proposed as a technique to alleviate alarm fatigue. ► SuperAlarm is a set of predictive combinations of monitor alarms. ► An alarm-mining algorithm proposed to find SuperAlarm set predictive of code blue. ► Repetition rate of alarms in a given time period is considered in the algorithm. ► Cross-validation and test is done on alarm data from 223 code blue and 1768 control patients.
