Predicting hospital admission at emergency department triage using machine learning.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: To predict hospital admission at the time of ED triage using patient history in addition to information collected at triage.

Assessment of the Feasibility of automated, real-time clinical decision support in the emergency department using electronic health record data.

BMC emergency medicine
BACKGROUND: The use of big data and machine learning within clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) has the potential to transform medicine through better prognosis, diagnosis and automation of tasks. Real-time application of machine learning algor...

Machine learning approaches for predicting disposition of asthma and COPD exacerbations in the ED.

The American journal of emergency medicine
OBJECTIVE: The prediction of emergency department (ED) disposition at triage remains challenging. Machine learning approaches may enhance prediction. We compared the performance of several machine learning approaches for predicting two clinical outco...

Machine Learning to Predict, Detect, and Intervene Older Adults Vulnerable for Adverse Drug Events in the Emergency Department.

Journal of medical toxicology : official journal of the American College of Medical Toxicology
Adverse drug events (ADEs) are common and have serious consequences in older adults. ED visits are opportunities to identify and alter the course of such vulnerable patients. Current practice, however, is limited by inaccurate reporting of medication...

Predicting urinary tract infections in the emergency department with machine learning.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common emergency department (ED) diagnosis with reported high diagnostic error rates. Because a urine culture, part of the gold standard for diagnosis of UTI, is usually not available for 24-48 hours aft...

Development and Validation of a Natural Language Processing Tool to Identify Patients Treated for Pneumonia across VA Emergency Departments.

Applied clinical informatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying pneumonia using diagnosis codes alone may be insufficient for research on clinical decision making. Natural language processing (NLP) may enable the inclusion of cases missed by diagnosis codes.

Refractory collapse and severe burn: Think about acute adrenal insufficiency.

The American journal of emergency medicine
INTRODUCTION: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a rare endocrine disorder, which can in its acute form be life-threatening in case of late diagnosis or treatment. The stress during a thermal burn can easily decompensate the AI. We report the case of an a...

Mild troponin elevation in patients admitted to the emergency department with atrial fibrillation: 30-day post-discharge prognostic significance.

Internal and emergency medicine
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often undergo troponin (Tn) testing in the emergency department (ED), but the clinical significance of mildly elevated values remains unclear. We evaluated short-term 30-day post-discharge outcomes in AF patient...
