Chronic Pain Prevalence, Opioid Use, and Primary Care Provider Opioid Prescription Patterns in the U.S. from 2017 to 2019 Derived from Medicaid Claims Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) is a major health concern in the United States, incurring substantial healthcare costs and frequently requiring opioid therapy in primary care. This retrospective cross-sectional study used Medicaid claims data from six...

Early Identification of Vitamin D Deficiency Risk Through Public Health Screening Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Metabolic syndrome, characterized by central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and reduced high-density lipoprotein levels, significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Vitamin D, essential for calcium regulation and...

Personalized Prediction of Chronic Kidney Disease Progression in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3-5: A Multicenter Study Using the Machine Learning Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a prevalent and progressive condition that can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if left unmanaged. Accurate prediction of CKD progression, particularly in patients with CKD stages 3-5, is essential for early inte...

Enhancing Chronic Diabetes Care with Companion Robots in Rural Taiwan.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Managing chronic diabetes in rural Taiwan remains challenging due to limited medical access and low health literacy. This pilot study evaluated a two-month, two-phase intervention using Bluetooth-enabled glucometers, smart wristbands, and a gamified ...

Development of Multivariable Prediction Models for 30-Day Risk of Readmission After COPD Hospital Admission: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Electronic Medical Record Data from 7 Hospitals.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: Approximately 20% of patients who are discharged from hospital for an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) are readmitted within 30 days. Prediction scores are helpful to identify those who are at higher risk of readmission, such that they...

Lower Extremity Bypass Surveillance and Peak Systolic Velocities Value Prediction Using Recurrent Neural Networks.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Routine duplex ultrasound surveillance is recommended after femoral-popliteal and femoral-tibial-pedal vein bypass grafts at various post-operative intervals. Currently, there is no systematic method for bypass graft surveillance using a set of peak ...

Predicting Nephrectomy Risk in Patients with Renal Cancer Using Real-World Electronic Health Records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Nephrectomy, the surgical removal of a kidney, is a critical treatment for renal cancer, and predicting its likelihood can help guide clinical decision-making and optimize preoperative planning. This study utilized real-world electronic health record...

Pilot Application of a Large Language Model to Identify Hospitalisation from Unstructured Electronic Health Records in Residential Aged Care Facilities.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Older people in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) visit hospitals and utilise healthcare services more often than others in the community. Trends in hospitalization rates are essential for designing targeted aged care interventions to reduce p...

Detection of Brain Cancer Using Genome-wide Cell-free DNA Fragmentomes.

Cancer discovery
UNLABELLED: Diagnostic delays in patients with brain cancer are common and can impact patient outcome. Development of a blood-based assay for detection of brain cancers could accelerate brain cancer diagnosis. In this study, we analyzed genome-wide c...

Machine learning diagnosis of cognitive impairment and dementia in harmonized older adult cohorts.

Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association
INTRODUCTION: Clinical diagnosis (normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment [MCI], dementia) is critical for understanding cognitive impairment and dementia but can be resource intensive and subject to inconsistencies due to complex clinical judgme...
