Using natural language processing and machine learning to classify health literacy from secure messages: The ECLIPPSE study.

PloS one
Limited health literacy is a barrier to optimal healthcare delivery and outcomes. Current measures requiring patients to self-report limitations are time-consuming and may be considered intrusive by some. This makes widespread classification of patie...

A machine learning approach to investigate potential risk factors for gastroschisis in California.

Birth defects research
BACKGROUND: To generate new leads about risk factors for gastroschisis, a birth defect that has been increasing in prevalence over time, we performed an untargeted data mining statistical approach.

Identifying Cases of Metastatic Prostate Cancer Using Machine Learning on Electronic Health Records.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Cancer stage is rarely captured in structured form in the electronic health record (EHR). We evaluate the performance of a classifier, trained on structured EHR data, in identifying prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease. Using EHR data for...

Space-time trends of PM constituents in the conterminous United States estimated by a machine learning approach, 2005-2015.

Environment international
Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a complex mixture of chemical constituents emitted from various emission sources or through secondary reactions/processes; however, PM is regulated mostly based on its total mass c...

Application of machine-learning to predict early spontaneous preterm birth among nulliparous non-Hispanic black and white women.

Annals of epidemiology
PURPOSE: Spontaneous preterm birth is a leading cause of perinatal mortality in the United States, occurring disproportionately among non-Hispanic black women compared to other race-ethnicities. Clinicians lack tools to identify first-time mothers at...

Earthquake prediction model using support vector regressor and hybrid neural networks.

PloS one
Earthquake prediction has been a challenging research area, where a future occurrence of the devastating catastrophe is predicted. In this work, sixty seismic features are computed through employing seismological concepts, such as Gutenberg-Richter l...

Using machine learning to evaluate treatment effects in multiple-group interrupted time series analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) is a popular evaluation methodology in which a single treatment unit's outcome is studied over time, and the intervention is expected to "interrupt" the level and/or trend of th...

Modeling when and where a secondary accident occurs.

Accident; analysis and prevention
The occurrence of secondary accidents leads to traffic congestion and road safety issues. Secondary accident prevention has become a major consideration in traffic incident management. This paper investigates the location and time of a potential seco...

Relationship of femoral artery ultrasound measures of atherosclerosis with chronic kidney disease.

Journal of vascular surgery
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Detection of subclinical PAD may allow early interventions for or prevention of PAD in persons with CKD. Whether the presence of atherosclerotic pla...

Critical dynamics in population vaccinating behavior.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Vaccine refusal can lead to renewed outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases and even delay global eradication. Vaccinating decisions exemplify a complex, coupled system where vaccinating behavior and disease dynamics influence one another. Such s...
