Venous Thrombosis

Applying Machine Learning for Prescriptive Support: A Use Case with Unfractionated Heparin in Intensive Care Units.

Continuous unfractionated heparin is widely used in intensive care, yet its complex pharmacokinetic properties complicate the determination of appropriate doses. To address this challenge, we developed machine learning models to predict over- and under-dosing, based on anti-Xa results, using a monocentric retrospective dataset. The random forest model achieved a mean AUROC of 0.80 [0.77-0.83], whi...

Improving VTE Identification through Language Models from Radiology Reports: A Comparative Study of Mamba, Phi-3 Mini, and BERT

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a critical cardiovascular condition, encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Accurate and timely identification of VTE is essential for effective medical care. This study builds upon our previous work, which addressed VTE detection using deep learning methods for DVT and a hybrid approach combining deep learning and rule-based classifi...
