Causal machine learning (ML) offers flexible, data-driven methods for predicting treatment outcomes including efficacy and toxicity, thereby supporting the assessment and safety of drugs. A key benefit of causal ML is that it allows for estimating in...
BACKGROUND: Although patients have easy access to their electronic health records and laboratory test result data through patient portals, laboratory test results are often confusing and hard to understand. Many patients turn to web-based forums or q...
BACKGROUND: Abstract review is a time and labor-consuming step in the systematic and scoping literature review in medicine. Text mining methods, typically natural language processing (NLP), may efficiently replace manual abstract screening. This stud...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a natural language processing (NLP) package to extract social determinants of health (SDoH) from clinical narratives, examine the bias among race and gender groups, test the generalizability of extracting SDoH for different dise...

OBJECTIVE: Medication management of patients with polypharmacy is highly complex. We aimed to validate a novel Artificial Pharmacology Intelligence (API) algorithm to optimize the medication review process in a comprehensive, personalized, and scalab...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The impact of various categories of information on the prediction of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) remains uncertain. We comprehensively investigated the risk factors associated with PEP by constructing and validating a model inco...
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a chronic disorder with a significant health and economic burden. Several VTE-specific clinical prediction models (CPMs) have been used to assist physicians in decision-making but have several limitations....
