This study aimed to develop and validate a transformer-based early warning score (TEWS) system for predicting adverse events (AEs) in the emergency department (ED). We conducted a retrospective study analyzing adult ED visits at a tertiary hospital. ...
Questions remain about how best to focus surveillance efforts for COVID-19 and other emerging respiratory diseases. We used an archive of COVID-19 data in Colorado from October 2020 to March 2024 to reconstruct seven real-time surveillance indicators...
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...
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) models have emerged as tools to predict length of stay (LOS) and disposition decision (DD) in emergency departments (EDs) to combat overcrowding. However, site-specific ML models are not transferable to different site...
OBJECTIVES: Unplanned pneumonia readmissions increase patient morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Among pneumonia patients, the middle-aged and elderly (≥45 years old) have a significantly higher risk of readmission compared with the young. Gi...
BACKGROUND: Emergency departments (EDs) face significant challenges due to overcrowding, prolonged waiting times, and staff shortages, leading to increased strain on health care systems. Efficient triage systems and accurate departmental guidance are...

INTRODUCTION: Elevated troponin, while essential for diagnosing myocardial infarction, can also be present in non-myocardial infarction conditions. The myocardial-ischaemic-injury-index (MI3) algorithm is a machine learning algorithm that considers a...
BACKGROUND: Dependent older people or those losing their autonomy are at risk of emergency hospitalization. Digital systems that monitor health remotely could be useful in reducing these visits by detecting worsening health conditions earlier. Howeve...
