An interpretation algorithm for molecular diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis in a maternity hospital using machine learning: proof-of-concept study.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
Allplex Bacterial vaginosis assay (Seegene, South Korea) is a molecular test for bacterial vaginosis (BV). A machine learning algorithm was devised on 200 samples (BV = 23, non-BV = 177) converting 7 identified bacterial strains polymerase chain reac...

Biocide susceptibilities and biofilm-forming capacities of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Malaysia.

Journal of infection in developing countries
INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has the capacity to develop resistance to all classes of antimicrobial compounds. However, very little is known regarding its susceptibility to biocides (antiseptics an...

Deep Learning versus Conventional Machine Learning for Detection of Healthcare-Associated Infections in French Clinical Narratives.

Methods of information in medicine
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article was to compare the performances of health care-associated infection (HAI) detection between deep learning and conventional machine learning (ML) methods in French medical reports.

Statistical outbreak detection by joining medical records and pathogen similarity.

Journal of biomedical informatics
We present a statistical inference model for the detection and characterization of outbreaks of hospital associated infection. The approach combines patient exposures, determined from electronic medical records, and pathogen similarity, determined by...

Accuracy of using natural language processing methods for identifying healthcare-associated infections.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: There is a growing interest in using natural language processing (NLP) for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) monitoring. A French project consortium, SYNODOS, developed a NLP solution for detecting medical events in electronic medica...

Electronic Surveillance For Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common and costly healthcare-associated infection, yet measuring it accurately is challenging and resource-intensive. Electronic surveillance promises to make this task more objective and effic...

Feasibility of a real-time hand hygiene notification machine learning system in outpatient clinics.

The Journal of hospital infection
BACKGROUND: Various technologies have been developed to improve hand hygiene (HH) compliance in inpatient settings; however, little is known about the feasibility of machine learning technology for this purpose in outpatient clinics.

Estimating Local Costs Associated With Clostridium difficile Infection Using Machine Learning and Electronic Medical Records.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
BACKGROUND Reported per-patient costs of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) vary by 2 orders of magnitude among different hospitals, implying that infection control officers need precise, local analyses to guide rational decision making between in...
