20.500.12556/DiRROS-28792 Bayesian parameter inference and uncertainty-informed sensitivity analysis in a 0D cardiovascular model for intraoperative hypotension Computational cardiovascular models are promising tools for clinical decision support, particularly in complex conditions, such as intraoperative hypotension (IOH). IOH arises from different mechanisms, making treatment selection non-trivial. Patient-specific predictions require calibration, typically performed using classical optimization prone to parameter non-identifiability and lacking uncertainty quantification, hindering clinical translation. Consequently, Bayesian approaches are needed that facilitate parameter inference, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty quantification in cardiovascular models. We utilize Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to estimate parameter distributions of a cardiovascular lumped parameter model (LPM) across different IOH scenarios. We demonstrate parameter non-uniqueness and its impact on sensitivity indices. We improve parameter reliability by incorporating clinical knowledge and measurement uncertainties. Continual learning of the model is achieved by sequential parameter updating as new patient data become available. We introduce an uncertainty-aware sensitivity analysis and compare it with a classical approach. Classical optimization yielded many local solutions for IOH, with notably different sensitivities. MCMC distinguished different hypotension scenarios, such as those induced by impaired contractility or hypovolemia. Parameter uncertainty decreased by about 70 % with additional data, and by up to 94 % with sequential updating. Propagating uncertainties from MCMC through sensitivity analysis provided tighter credible intervals, resulting in more stable parameter rankings than the classical approach. The Bayesian approach revealed differences in model sensitivity and treatment suggestions across patient conditions, highlighting the potential to inform therapy planning. Combining Bayesian inference with sequential updating and sensitivity analysis improves the reliability and identifiability of parameter estimates, enhancing the clinical utility of LPMs for therapy guidance.
