BACKGROUND: Determining extubation readiness in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) is challenging. We used expert-augmented machine learning (EAML), a method that combines machine learning with human expert knowledge, to predict successful extubat...
Here we propose CovSF, a deep learning model designed to track and forecast short-term severity progression of COVID-19 patients using longitudinal clinical records. The motivation stems from the need for timely medical resource allocation, improved ...
Occupational data is a crucial social determinant of health, influencing diagnostic accuracy, treatment strategies, and policy-making in healthcare. However, its inclusion in electronic health records (EHR) is often relegated to unstructured fields. ...
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) opens new horizons to leverage, often unused, information in clinical text. Our study aims to capitalise on this new potential. Specifically, we examine the utility of text embeddings generated by LLMs in...
The advancement of clinical natural language processing systems is crucial to exploit the wealth of textual data contained in medical records. Diverse data sources are required in different languages and from different sites to represent global healt...
In recent years, the prevalence of chronic diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis (UC) has increased, bringing a heavy burden to healthcare systems. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) stands out for its cost-effective and efficient treatment modalities,...
Clinical notes should capture important information from a physician-patient encounter, but they may also contain signals indicative of physician fatigue. Using data from 129,228 emergency department (ED) visits, we train a model to identify notes wr...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to early recognition and management of rapidly progressive, community-acquired pediatric sepsis, a leading cause of childhood mortality. The broad adoption of electronic health records combined with rapid...
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD) are frequent complications of hospitalization, resulting in reduced outcomes and increased cost burden. However, these conditions are only sometimes recognized and promptly treated....
BACKGROUND: Ireland is ranked among the most disadvantageous European countries in terms of mental health challenges. Contrary to general health services that primarily focus on diagnosis and treatment, the mental health sector in Ireland deals with ...
