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

Studies in health technology and informatics
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 und...

Enhancing Periodontal Treatment Through the Integration of Deep Learning-Based Detection with Bayesian Network Models.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This study incorporated deep learning for periodontal disease detection into a Bayesian network (BN) clinical decision support model for comprehensive periodontal care. BN structure and probabilities were based on clinical data and Faster R-CNN-detec...

Automatic Extraction of Medication Data from Semi-Structured Prescriptions.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In many healthcare facilities, the prescription of drugs is done only in a semi-structured manner, using free-text fields where various information is often mixed. Therefore, automatic processing, especially for secondary use such as research purpose...

Development of a CNN for Adult Brain Tumour Characterisation: Implications and Future Directions for Transfer Learning.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Brain tumours are the most commonly occurring solid tumours in children, albeit with lower incidence rates compared to adults. However, their inherent heterogeneity, ethical considerations regarding paediatric patients, and difficulty in long-term fo...

Towards a Reporting Guideline for Studies on Information Extraction from Clinical Texts.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: The rapid technical progress in the domain of clinical Natural Language Processing and information extraction (IE) has resulted in challenges concerning the comparability and replicability of studies.

Harnessing the Power of Machine Learning and Electronic Health Records to Support Child Abuse and Neglect Identification in Emergency Department Settings.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Emergency departments (EDs) are pivotal in detecting child abuse and neglect, but this task is often complex. Our study developed a machine learning model using structured and unstructured electronic health record (EHR) data to predict when children ...

Temporal Characterization and Visualization of Revolving Therapy-Events in Lung Cancer Patients.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents a comprehensive workflow for integrating revolving events into the transitive sequential pattern mining (tSPM+) algorithm and Machine Learning for Health Outcomes (MLHO) framework, emphasizing best practices and pitfalls in its ap...

From Data Mining of Public Sources to Clinical Decision Support in Personalized Medicine.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Personalized medicine enables precise tumor treatment for a patient's molecular genetic profile. To devise optimal targeted treatment plans for patients in a molecular tumor board, physicians must consider alterations on gene- and proteins levels but...

Predicting Patient No-Shows: Situated Machine Learning with Imperfect Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Patients who do not show up for scheduled appointments are a considerable cost and concern in healthcare. In this study, we predict patient no-shows for outpatient surgery at the endoscopy ward of a hospital in Denmark. The predictions are made by tr...

Feasibility and Educational Value of Clinical Cases Generated Using Large Language Models.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In medical education, case-based learning (CBL) is a fundamental method for training healthcare professionals across different levels of expertise. This approach hinges on using authentic or fabricated clinical cases to bridge the gap between theoret...
