Personalized prediction of drug efficacy for diabetes treatment via patient-level sequential modeling with neural networks.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are generally under continuous long-term medical treatment based on anti-diabetic drugs to achieve the desired glucose level. Thus, each patient is associated with a sequence of multiple records for prescription...

Primary Care Provider Perceptions and Practices Regarding Dosing Units for Oral Liquid Medications.

Academic pediatrics
INTRODUCTION: To prevent errors, health care professional and safety organizations recommend using milliliters (mL) alone for oral liquid medication dosing instructions and devices. In 2018, for federal incentives under the Quality Payment Program, o...

Identifying Drug-Drug Interactions by Data Mining: A Pilot Study of Warfarin-Associated Drug Interactions.

Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes
BACKGROUND: Knowledge about drug-drug interactions commonly arises from preclinical trials, from adverse drug reports, or based on knowledge of mechanisms of action. Our aim was to investigate whether drug-drug interactions were discoverable without ...

An end-to-end hybrid algorithm for automated medication discrepancy detection.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In this study we implemented and developed state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies and built a computerized algorithm for medication reconciliation. Our specific aims are: (1) to develop a...

Chronic Pain Prevalence, Opioid Use, and Primary Care Provider Opioid Prescription Patterns in the U.S. from 2017 to 2019 Derived from Medicaid Claims Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) is a major health concern in the United States, incurring substantial healthcare costs and frequently requiring opioid therapy in primary care. This retrospective cross-sectional study used Medicaid claims data from six...

Use of an Untrained Large Language Model for Antibiotic Prescription in Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Primary Care Settings: A Study From the Italian Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases.

The Pediatric infectious disease journal
The development of artificial intelligence systems is revolutionizing many fields of medicine, but specific studies are still missing in pediatrics. In our study, we showed that an untrained free-to-use large language model provided reliable response...

GP or ChatGPT? Ability of large language models (LLMs) to support general practitioners when prescribing antibiotics.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy
INTRODUCTION: Large language models (LLMs) are becoming ubiquitous and widely implemented. LLMs could also be used for diagnosis and treatment. National antibiotic prescribing guidelines are customized and informed by local laboratory data on antimic...

Identifying high-dose opioid prescription risks using machine learning: A focus on sociodemographic characteristics.

Journal of opioid management
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to leverage machine learning techniques to analyze administrative claims and socioeconomic data, with the aim of identifying and interpreting the risk factors associated with high-dose opioid prescribing.
