Creation of a new longitudinal corpus of clinical narratives.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth Natural Language Processing (NLP) shared task featured a new longitudinal corpus of 1304 records representing 296 diabetic patients. The corpus contains three cohorts: patients who have a diagnosis of coronary artery disease (C...

Identifying risk factors for heart disease over time: Overview of 2014 i2b2/UTHealth shared task Track 2.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The second track of the 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task focused on identifying medical risk factors related to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the narratives of longitudinal medical records of diabetic patients. The risk f...

Annotating risk factors for heart disease in clinical narratives for diabetic patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...

Mortality prediction in intensive care units with the Super ICU Learner Algorithm (SICULA): a population-based study.

The Lancet. Respiratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Improved mortality prediction for patients in intensive care units is a big challenge. Many severity scores have been proposed, but findings of validation studies have shown that they are not adequately calibrated. The Super ICU Learner A...

Prediction of hospitalization due to heart diseases by supervised learning methods.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: In 2008, the United States spent $2.2 trillion for healthcare, which was 15.5% of its GDP. 31% of this expenditure is attributed to hospital care. Evidently, even modest reductions in hospital care costs matter. A 2009 study showed that n...

Automated Interstitial Lung Abnormality Probability Prediction at CT: A Stepwise Machine Learning Approach in the Boston Lung Cancer Study.

Radiology
Background It is increasingly recognized that interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) detected at CT have potential clinical implications, but automated identification of ILAs has not yet been fully established. Purpose To develop and test automated I...

Predicting ventilator-associated pneumonia with machine learning.

Medicine
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common and fatal nosocomial infection in intensive care units (ICUs). Existing methods for identifying VAP display low accuracy, and their use may delay antimicrobial therapy. VAP diagnostics derived ...

Avoidable Serum Potassium Testing in the Cardiac ICU: Development and Testing of a Machine-Learning Model.

Pediatric critical care medicine : a journal of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies
OBJECTIVES: To create a machine-learning model identifying potentially avoidable blood draws for serum potassium among pediatric patients following cardiac surgery.

Development and Internal Validation of Machine Learning Algorithms for Preoperative Survival Prediction of Extremity Metastatic Disease.

Clinical orthopaedics and related research
BACKGROUND: A preoperative estimation of survival is critical for deciding on the operative management of metastatic bone disease of the extremities. Several tools have been developed for this purpose, but there is room for improvement. Machine learn...

Patient-Specific Classification of ICU Sedation Levels From Heart Rate Variability.

Critical care medicine
OBJECTIVE: To develop a personalizable algorithm to discriminate between sedation levels in ICU patients based on heart rate variability.
