Vancomycin is a commonly used antimicrobial in hospitals, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required to optimize its efficacy and avoid toxicities. Bayesian models are currently recommended to predict the antibiotic levels. These models, howev...
In many countries, mental health issues are among the most serious public health concerns. National mental health statistics are frequently collected from reported patient cases or government-sponsored surveys, which have restricted coverage, frequen...
BACKGROUND: A patient's health information is generally fragmented across silos because it follows how care is delivered: multiple providers in multiple settings. Though it is technically feasible to reunite data for analysis in a manner that underpi...
INTRODUCTION: Patient safety classifications/ontologies enable patient safety information systems to receive and analyze patient safety data to improve patient safety. Patient safety classifications/ontologies have been developed and evaluated using ...
One unintended consequence of the Electronic Health Records (EHR) implementation is the overuse of content-importing technology, such as copy-and-paste, that creates "bloated" notes containing large amounts of textual redundancy. Despite the rising i...
Drug side effects are closely related to the success and failure of drug development. Here we present a novel machine learning method for side effect prediction. The proposed method treats side effect prediction as a multi-label learning problem and ...
BACKGROUND: Since February 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic has rapidly spread throughout Italy. Some studies showed an association of environmental factors, such as PM, PM NO, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation and mobility with ...
Accurate identification of the presence, absence or possibility of relevant entities in clinical notes is important for healthcare professionals to quickly understand crucial clinical information. This introduces the task of assertion classification ...
The existence of unlinkable (NIL) entities is a major hurdle affecting the performance of Named Entity Linking approaches, and, consequently, the performance of downstream models that depend on them. Existing approaches to deal with NIL entities focu...
Evaluation of the head shape of newborns is needed to detect cranial deformities, disturbances in head growth, and consequently, to predict short- and long-term neurodevelopment. Currently, there is a lack of automatic tools to provide a detailed eva...
