Evaluating machine learning model bias and racial disparities in non-small cell lung cancer using SEER registry data.

Health care management science
BACKGROUND: Despite decades of pursuing health equity, racial and ethnic disparities persist in healthcare in America. For cancer specifically, one of the leading observed disparities is worse mortality among non-Hispanic Black patients compared to n...

The bias algorithm: how AI in healthcare exacerbates ethnic and racial disparities - a scoping review.

Ethnicity & health
This scoping review examined racial and ethnic bias in artificial intelligence health algorithms (AIHA), the role of stakeholders in oversight, and the consequences of AIHA for health equity. Using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, databases were searched b...

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Predictive Accuracy of Machine Learning Algorithms Developed Using a National Database for 30-Day Complications Following Total Joint Arthroplasty.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: While predictive capabilities of machine learning (ML) algorithms for hip and knee total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have been demonstrated in previous studies, their performance in racial and ethnic minority patients has not been investigat...

Predicting the risk of diabetes complications using machine learning and social administrative data in a country with ethnic inequities in health: Aotearoa New Zealand.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In the age of big data, linked social and administrative health data in combination with machine learning (ML) is being increasingly used to improve prediction in chronic disease, e.g., cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In this study we aime...

Semi-supervised machine learning method for predicting homogeneous ancestry groups to assess Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in diverse whole-genome sequencing studies.

American journal of human genetics
Large-scale, multi-ethnic whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies, such as the National Human Genome Research Institute Genome Sequencing Program's Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG), play an important role in increasing diversity for genetic r...

Rule-based natural language processing to examine variation in worsening heart failure hospitalizations by age, sex, race and ethnicity, and left ventricular ejection fraction.

American heart journal
BACKGROUND: Prior studies characterizing worsening heart failure events (WHFE) have been limited in using structured healthcare data from hospitalizations, and with little exploration of sociodemographic variation. The current study examined the impa...

Using machine learning to determine the nationalities of the fastest 100-mile ultra-marathoners and identify top racing events.

PloS one
The present study intended to determine the nationality of the fastest 100-mile ultra-marathoners and the country/events where the fastest 100-mile races are held. A machine learning model based on the XG Boost algorithm was built to predict the runn...

Evaluation of an AI algorithm trained on an ethnically diverse dataset to screen a previously unseen population for diabetic retinopathy.

Indian journal of ophthalmology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the generalizability of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm trained on an ethnically diverse dataset to screen for referable diabetic retinopathy (RDR) in the Armenian population unseen during AI developme...

Ancestry analysis using a self-developed 56 AIM-InDel loci and machine learning methods.

Forensic science international
Insertion/deletion (InDel) polymorphisms can be used as one of the ancestry-informative markers in ancestry analysis. In this study, a self-developed panel consisting of 56 ancestry-informative InDels was used to investigate the genetic structures an...

Different machine learning methods based on maxillary sinus in sex estimation for northwestern Chinese Han population.

International journal of legal medicine
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Sex estimation is a critical aspect of forensic expertise. Some special anatomical structures, such as the maxillary sinus, can still maintain integrity in harsh environmental conditions and may be served as a basis for sex es...
