Machine learning approaches to personalize early prediction of asthma exacerbations.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
Patient telemonitoring results in an aggregation of significant amounts of information about patient disease trajectory. However, the potential use of this information for early prediction of exacerbations in adult asthma patients has not been system...

A Part-Of-Speech term weighting scheme for biomedical information retrieval.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In the era of digitalization, information retrieval (IR), which retrieves and ranks documents from large collections according to users' search queries, has been popularly applied in the biomedical domain. Building patient cohorts using electronic he...

Evaluating electronic health record data sources and algorithmic approaches to identify hypertensive individuals.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Phenotyping algorithms applied to electronic health record (EHR) data enable investigators to identify large cohorts for clinical and genomic research. Algorithm development is often iterative, depends on fallible investigator intuition, a...

Detecting hospital-acquired infections: A document classification approach using support vector machines and gradient tree boosting.

Health informatics journal
Hospital-acquired infections pose a significant risk to patient health, while their surveillance is an additional workload for hospital staff. Our overall aim is to build a surveillance system that reliably detects all patient records that potentiall...

A pilot study of a heuristic algorithm for novel template identification from VA electronic medical record text.

Journal of biomedical informatics
RATIONALE: Templates in text notes pose challenges for automated information extraction algorithms. We propose a method that identifies novel templates in plain text medical notes. The identification can then be used to either include or exclude temp...

Learning temporal weights of clinical events using variable importance.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal data sources, such as electronic health records (EHRs), are very valuable for monitoring adverse drug events (ADEs). However, ADEs are heavily under-reported in EHRs. Using machine learning algorithms to automatically detect ...

Ensembles of randomized trees using diverse distributed representations of clinical events.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Learning deep representations of clinical events based on their distributions in electronic health records has been shown to allow for subsequent training of higher-performing predictive models compared to the use of shallow, count-based ...

Extracting Information from Electronic Medical Records to Identify the Obesity Status of a Patient Based on Comorbidities and Bodyweight Measures.

Journal of medical systems
Obesity is a chronic disease with an increasing impact on the world's population. In this work, we present a method of identifying obesity automatically using text mining techniques and information related to body weight measures and obesity comorbid...

Detecting the presence of an indwelling urinary catheter and urinary symptoms in hospitalized patients using natural language processing.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To develop a natural language processing pipeline to extract positively asserted concepts related to the presence of an indwelling urinary catheter in hospitalized patients from the free text of the electronic medical note. The goal is to ...
