Predicting asthma attacks in primary care: protocol for developing a machine learning-based prediction model.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Asthma is a long-term condition with rapid onset worsening of symptoms ('attacks') which can be unpredictable and may prove fatal. Models predicting asthma attacks require high sensitivity to minimise mortality risk, and high specificit...

Prediction of emergency department patient disposition based on natural language processing of triage notes.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Nursing triage documentation is the first free-form text data created at the start of an emergency department (ED) visit. These 1-3 unstructured sentences reflect the clinical impression of an experienced nurse and are key in gauging a pa...

Consensus Development of a Modern Ontology of Emergency Department Presenting Problems-The Hierarchical Presenting Problem Ontology (HaPPy).

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Numerous attempts have been made to create a standardized "presenting problem" or "chief complaint" list to characterize the nature of an emergency department visit. Previous attempts have failed to gain widespread adoption as they were no...

Analysis of Unstructured Text-Based Data Using Machine Learning Techniques: The Case of Pediatric Emergency Department Records in Nicaragua.

Medical care research and review : MCRR
Free-text information is still widely used in emergency department (ED) records. Machine learning techniques are useful for analyzing narratives, but they have been used mostly for English-language data sets. Considering such a framework, the perform...

Developing neural network models for early detection of cardiac arrest in emergency department.

The American journal of emergency medicine
BACKGROUND: Automated surveillance for cardiac arrests would be useful in overcrowded emergency departments. The purpose of this study is to develop and test artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers for early detection of patients at risk of cardi...

Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of humanoid robot-based distraction for venipuncture pain in children.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Intravenous insertion (IVI) is a very common procedure in the emergency department (ED). IVI is often painful and stressful for both children and their families. Currently, distraction therapy is not used as a standard of care for IVI i...
