Automatically determining cause of death from verbal autopsy narratives.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: A verbal autopsy (VA) is a post-hoc written interview report of the symptoms preceding a person's death in cases where no official cause of death (CoD) was determined by a physician. Current leading automated VA coding methods primarily u...

Automatic classification of free-text medical causes from death certificates for reactive mortality surveillance in France.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Mortality surveillance is of fundamental importance to public health surveillance. The real-time recording of death certificates, thanks to Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS), provides valuable data for reactive mortality surveil...

Machine learning-based prediction of heart failure readmission or death: implications of choosing the right model and the right metrics.

ESC heart failure
AIMS: Machine learning (ML) is widely believed to be able to learn complex hidden interactions from the data and has the potential in predicting events such as heart failure (HF) readmission and death. Recent studies have revealed conflicting results...

Constipation and risk of death and cardiovascular events.

Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Constipation is one of the most frequent symptoms encountered in daily clinical practice and is implicated in the development of atherosclerosis, potentially through altered gut microbiota. However, little is known about its asso...

Extracting cancer mortality statistics from death certificates: A hybrid machine learning and rule-based approach for common and rare cancers.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Death certificates are an invaluable source of cancer mortality statistics. However, this value can only be realised if accurate, quantitative data can be extracted from certificates-an aim hampered by both the volume and variable quality ...

Predictors of firearm violence in urban communities: A machine-learning approach.

Health & place
Interpersonal firearm violence is a leading cause of death and injuries in the United States. Identifying community characteristics associated with firearm violence is important to improve confounder selection and control in health research, to bette...

Risk prediction model for in-hospital mortality in women with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: A machine learning approach.

Heart & lung : the journal of critical care
BACKGROUND: Studies had shown that mortality due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is higher in women compared with men. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate prediction models for all-cause in-hospital mortality in women a...

Using Machine Learning to Define the Association between Cardiorespiratory Fitness and All-Cause Mortality (from the Henry Ford Exercise Testing Project).

The American journal of cardiology
Previous studies have demonstrated that cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong marker of cardiovascular health. Machine learning (ML) can enhance the prediction of outcomes through classification techniques that classify the data into predetermined ca...

Predicting two-year survival versus non-survival after first myocardial infarction using machine learning and Swedish national register data.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Machine learning algorithms hold potential for improved prediction of all-cause mortality in cardiovascular patients, yet have not previously been developed with high-quality population data. This study compared four popular machine learn...
