OBJECTIVE: Standards such as the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC®) are critical for interoperability and integrating data into common data models, but are inconsistently used. Without consistent mapping to standards, clinical d...
Emerging applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence offer the opportunity to discover new clinical knowledge through secondary exploration of existing patient medical records. This new knowledge may in turn offer a foundation to bui...
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has strikingly heterogeneous clinical manifestations, with most individuals contracting mild disease but a substantial minority experiencing fulminant cardiopulmonary symptoms or death. The c...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health issue, and accurate prediction of the progression of kidney failure is critical for clinical decision-making and helps improve patient outcomes. As such, we aimed to deve...
