A machine learning approach to predict ethnicity using personal name and census location in Canada.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Canada is an ethnically-diverse country, yet its lack of ethnicity information in many large databases impedes effective population research and interventions. Automated ethnicity classification using machine learning has shown potential ...

A Novel Use of Artificial Intelligence to Examine Diversity and Hospital Performance.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The US population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Research suggests that cultural diversity within organizations can increase team potency and performance, yet this theory has not been explored in the field of surgery. F...

Deep transfer learning for reducing health care disparities arising from biomedical data inequality.

Nature communications
As artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied to biomedical research and clinical decisions, developing unbiased AI models that work equally well for all ethnic groups is of crucial importance to health disparity prevention and reduction. H...

Personalized treatment for coronary artery disease patients: a machine learning approach.

Health care management science
Current clinical practice guidelines for managing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) account for general cardiovascular risk factors. However, they do not present a framework that considers personalized patient-specific characteristics. Using the electron...

Assessment of and polymorphisms in age-related macular degeneration using classic and machine-learning approaches.

Ophthalmic genetics
BACKGROUND: and are pivotal genes driving increased risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among several populations. Here, we performed a hospital-based case-control study to evaluate the effects of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (...

Artificial intelligence may offer insight into factors determining individual TSH level.

PloS one
The factors that determine Serum Thyrotropin (TSH) levels have been examined through different methods, using different covariates. However, the use of machine learning methods has so far not been studied in population databases like NHANES (National...

Age estimation using bloodstain miRNAs based on massive parallel sequencing and machine learning: A pilot study.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Age estimation is one of the most important components in the practice of forensic science, especially for body fluids or stains at crime scenes. Recent studies have focused on the application of DNA methylation for chronological age determination in...

Assessing and Mitigating Bias in Medical Artificial Intelligence: The Effects of Race and Ethnicity on a Deep Learning Model for ECG Analysis.

Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology
BACKGROUND: Deep learning algorithms derived in homogeneous populations may be poorly generalizable and have the potential to reflect, perpetuate, and even exacerbate racial/ethnic disparities in health and health care. In this study, we aimed to (1)...

Prevalence of Financial Considerations Documented in Primary Care Encounters as Identified by Natural Language Processing Methods.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Quantifying patient-physician cost conversations is challenging but important as out-of-pocket spending by US patients increases and patients are increasingly interested in discussing costs with their physicians.

Expression of socially sensitive genes: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Gene expression may be an important biological mediator in associations between social factors and health. However, previous studies were limited by small sample sizes and use of differing cell types with heterogeneous expression patterns...
