Machine learning adoption in clinical decision support systems remains limited by concerns about transparency and robustness. Causal structure learning (CSL) combined with expert knowledge may address these concerns by identifying potentially causal predictors, enabling more interpretable and clinically aligned models. In this study, we show that by integrating clinician expertise with CSL algorithms we can identify plausible causal drivers of acquired acute brain dysfunction (ABD) in the pediat...
