CONTEXT: Prior work using symptom burden to predict emergency department (ED) visits among patients with cancer has used traditional statistical methods such as logistic regression (LR). Machine learning approaches for prediction, such as artificial ...
After admission to emergency department (ED), patients with critical illnesses are transferred to intensive care unit (ICU) due to unexpected clinical deterioration occurrence. Identifying such unplanned ICU transfers is urgently needed for medical p...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between the medical imaging utilization and information related to patients' socioeconomic, demographic and clinical factors during the patients' ED visits; and to develop predictive models using these associated...
BACKGROUND: The triage of patients in prehospital care is a difficult task, and improved risk assessment tools are needed both at the dispatch center and on the ambulance to differentiate between low- and high-risk patients. This study validates a ma...
MOTIVATION: Emergency Departments' (ED) modern triage systems implemented worldwide are solely based upon medical knowledge and experience. This is a limitation of these systems, since there might be hidden patterns that can be explored in big volume...

Emergency departments (EDs) play a vital role in the whole healthcare system as they are the first point of care in hospitals for urgent and critically ill patients. Therefore, effective management of hospital's ED is crucial in improving the quality...
BACKGROUND: Emergency departments (ED) are becoming increasingly overwhelmed, increasing poor outcomes. Triage scores aim to optimize the waiting time and prioritize the resource usage. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms offer advantages for cre...
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized utilizing machine learning (ML) algorithms for screening septic shock in ED would provide better accuracy than qSOFA or MEWS.
