Chronic obstructive lung disease "expert system": validation of a predictive tool for assisting diagnosis.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were development and validation of an expert system (ES) aimed at supporting the diagnosis of chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD).

Multichannel lung sound analysis for asthma detection.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Lung sound signals convey valuable information of the lung status. Auscultation is an effective technique to appreciate the condition of the respiratory system using lung sound signals. The prior works on asthma detection fr...

Automated chart review utilizing natural language processing algorithm for asthma predictive index.

BMC pulmonary medicine
BACKGROUND: Thus far, no algorithms have been developed to automatically extract patients who meet Asthma Predictive Index (API) criteria from the Electronic health records (EHR) yet. Our objective is to develop and validate a natural language proces...

Mixed Th2 and non-Th2 inflammatory pattern in the asthma-COPD overlap: a network approach.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
INTRODUCTION: The asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is a clinical condition that combines features of those two diseases, and that is difficult to define due to the lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms. D...

Ascertainment of asthma prognosis using natural language processing from electronic medical records.

The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology
NLP algorithm successfully determined asthma prognosis (i.e., no remission, long-term remission, and intermittent remission) by taking into account asthma symptoms documented in EMR, and addressed the limitations of billing code- based asthma outcome...

Exhaled breath condensate metabolome clusters for endotype discovery in asthma.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a complex, heterogeneous disorder with similar presenting symptoms but with varying underlying pathologies. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a relatively unexplored matrix which reflects the signatures of respiratory epitheliu...

Efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in adult patients with mild-to-moderate asthma not receiving inhaled corticosteroids.

Respiratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a heterogeneous and complex disease in both its clinical course and response to treatment. IL-13 is central to Type 2 inflammation and contributes to many features of asthma. In a previous Phase 2 study, lebrikizumab, an anti-IL...

Collaborative targeted learning using regression shrinkage.

Statistics in medicine
Causal inference practitioners are routinely presented with the challenge of model selection and, in particular, reducing the size of the covariate set with the goal of improving estimation efficiency. Collaborative targeted minimum loss-based estima...

Diagnosing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with machine learning.

Health informatics journal
This study examines the clinical decision support systems in healthcare, in particular about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, such as Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The empirical pulmonology study of...
