OBJECTIVES: To develop and compare prediction models for 30-day and 1-year mortality in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) using EHR data, utilizing both traditional and machine learning (ML) techniques.
BACKGROUND: As data-driven medical research advances, vast amounts of medical data are being collected, giving researchers access to important information. However, issues such as heterogeneity, complexity, and incompleteness of datasets limit their ...
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need for early risk stratification in primary prevention. Traditional Cox models assume proportional hazards and linear effects,...
Physicians face a significant documentation burden, spending twice as much time on electronic health records (EHRs) as on direct patient care. Consultation summary reports from the emergency department (ED) are critical for continuity of care and cli...
Delirium is an acute syndrome characterized by fluctuating attention, cognitive impairment, and severe disorganization of behavior, which has been shown to affect up to 31% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Early detection can enable time...
