Abstract
PURPOSE: Patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) may require emergency department evaluation or hospitalization. Early identification may direct preventative supportive care, improving outcomes and reducing health care costs. We developed and evaluated a machine learning (ML) approach to predict these events.
