Methodological variations in lagged regression for detecting physiologic drug effects in EHR data.

Journal of biomedical informatics
We studied how lagged linear regression can be used to detect the physiologic effects of drugs from data in the electronic health record (EHR). We systematically examined the effect of methodological variations ((i) time series construction, (ii) tem...

Association of Reduced Nicotine Content Cigarettes With Smoking Behaviors and Biomarkers of Exposure Among Slow and Fast Nicotine Metabolizers: A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced its intention to reduce the nicotine content in combustible cigarettes but must base regulation on public health benefits. Fast nicotine metabolizers may be at risk for increased smo...

Predicting Inpatient Acute Kidney Injury over Different Time Horizons: How Early and Accurate?

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) has increased dramatically over the past two decades due to rising prevalence of comorbidities and broadening repertoire of nephrotoxic medications. Hospitalized patients with AKI are at higher risk for complica...

Assessing patient risk of central line-associated bacteremia via machine learning.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) contribute to increased morbidity, length of hospital stay, and cost. Despite progress in understanding the risk factors, there remains a need to accurately predict the risk of CLAB...

Harnessing electronic medical records to advance research on multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
BACKGROUND: Electronic medical records (EMR) data are increasingly used in research, but no studies have yet evaluated similarity between EMR and research-quality data and between characteristics of an EMR multiple sclerosis (MS) population and known...

The effects of natural language processing on cross-institutional portability of influenza case detection for disease surveillance.

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the accuracy and portability of a natural language processing (NLP) tool for extracting clinical findings of influenza from clinical notes across two large healthcare systems. Effectiveness is evaluated on how well NL...

Clinical impact of prostate biopsy undergrading in an academic and community setting.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the rate of Gleason score (GS) upgrade on final pathology, the rate of positive surgical margins (PSM) and the rate of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) were different if prostate biopsy (PB) w...

Real-time prediction of inpatient length of stay for discharge prioritization.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Hospitals are challenged to provide timely patient care while maintaining high resource utilization. This has prompted hospital initiatives to increase patient flow and minimize nonvalue added care time. Real-time demand capacity managemen...
