Machine learning based classification of catastrophic health expenditures: a cross-sectional study of Korean low-income households.

BMC health services research
BACKGROUND: Despite the National Health Insurance (NHI) system implemented in South Korea, concerns persist regarding access to health coverage for low-income households. To address this issue, this study aims to use machine learning-based data minin...

The impact of intelligent devices utilization on household medical expenditure of older adults in China.

Scientific reports
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, there is an increasing utilization of intelligent devices by older adults. The relationship between the utilization of intelligent devices and household medical expenditure has garnered widesprea...

Artificial neural network-driven approaches to improved forecasting of disability care expenditures in an aging Kingdom of Saudi Arabia population.

Scientific reports
The total number of older persons globally (those aged 60 years and above) was 202 million in 1950; this total multiplied to attain 901 million and is predicted to triple again in 2100. The growth percentage of the elderly population is quickly impro...

Entity-enhanced BERT for medical specialty prediction based on clinical questionnaire data.

PloS one
A medical specialty prediction system for remote diagnosis can reduce the unexpected costs incurred by first-visit patients who visit the wrong hospital department for their symptoms. To develop medical specialty prediction systems, several researche...

Machine learning-driven prediction of medical expenses in triple-vessel PCI patients using feature selection.

BMC health services research
Revascularization therapies, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), alleviate symptoms and treat myocardial ischemia. Patients with multivessel disease, particularly those undergoing 3-vessel PCI,...

Synergistic pathways for health investment and economic development in China: a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: System coordination is an effective way to achieve high-quality development, and the debate on the interaction between health investment and economic development is still ongoing. To strengthen previous research and offer feasible advice ...

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of different machine learning models in estimating the pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical expenditures associated with Diabetes Mellitus type II diagnosis, based on the clinical risk index determined by the a...

Machine learning models of healthcare expenditures predicting mortality: A cohort study of spousal bereaved Danish individuals.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The ability to accurately predict survival in older adults is crucial as it guides clinical decision making. The added value of using health care usage for predicting mortality remains unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate ...

Increased cost burden associated with robot-assisted rectopexy: do patient outcomes justify increased expenditure?

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgical techniques have flourished over the years, with refinement in instrumentation and optics allowing for adaptation and increasing utilization across surgical fields. Transabdominal rectopexy with mesh for rectal prol...

Robot-assisted and conventional urology surgical procedures: comparison of average length of stay, economic status, operative time and patient's expenditure in a tertiary care hospital of North India.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted surgeries allows the surgeons to operate using remote-controlled robotic arms that are more effective in comparison to conventional (open/laparoscopic) surgeries. However, there is substantial lack of evidence on the effectiveness of r...
