A scalable approach for developing clinical risk prediction applications in different hospitals.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) algorithms are now widely used in predicting acute events for clinical applications. While most of such prediction applications are developed to predict the risk of a particular acute event at one hospital, few effort...

Review of Temporal Reasoning in the Clinical Domain for Timeline Extraction: Where we are and where we need to be.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Understanding a patient's medical history, such as how long symptoms last or when a procedure was performed, is vital to diagnosing problems and providing good care. Frequently, important information regarding a patient's medical timeline is buried i...

Identification of pediatric respiratory diseases using a fine-grained diagnosis system.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Respiratory diseases, including asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infection (RTI), are among the most common diseases in clinics. The similarities among the symptoms of these diseases precludes prompt diagnosis upon the patie...

A knowledge base of clinical trial eligibility criteria.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: We present the Clinical Trial Knowledge Base, a regularly updated knowledge base of discrete clinical trial eligibility criteria equipped with a web-based user interface for querying and aggregate analysis of common eligibility criteria.

Safety-driven design of machine learning for sepsis treatment.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Machine learning (ML) has the potential to bring significant clinical benefits. However, there are patient safety challenges in introducing ML in complex healthcare settings and in assuring the technology to the satisfaction of the different regulato...

A random forest method with feature selection for developing medical prediction models with clustered and longitudinal data.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Machine learning methodologies are gaining popularity for developing medical prediction models for datasets with a large number of predictors, particularly in the setting of clustered and longitudinal data. Binary Mixed Model (BiMM) fores...

ConceptWAS: A high-throughput method for early identification of COVID-19 presenting symptoms and characteristics from clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Identifying symptoms and characteristics highly specific to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) would improve the clinical and public health response to this pandemic challenge. Here, we describe a high-throughput approach - Concept-Wide A...

Machine learning research towards combating COVID-19: Virus detection, spread prevention, and medical assistance.

Journal of biomedical informatics
COVID-19 was first discovered in December 2019 and has continued to rapidly spread across countries worldwide infecting thousands and millions of people. The virus is deadly, and people who are suffering from prior illnesses or are older than the age...

Automatic phenotyping of electronical health record: PheVis algorithm.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) often lack reliable annotation of patient medical conditions. Phenorm, an automated unsupervised algorithm to identify patient medical conditions from EHR data, has been developed. PheVis extends PheNorm at the visit ...

French FastContext: A publicly accessible system for detecting negation, temporality and experiencer in French clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The context of medical conditions is an important feature to consider when processing clinical narratives. NegEx and its extension ConText became the most well-known rule-based systems that allow determining whether a medical condition is negated, hi...
