The Economic Burden of ACPA-Positive Status Among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy
BACKGROUND: Anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are serological biomarkers associated with early, rapidly progressing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including more severe disease and joint damage. ACPA testing has become a routine tool for RA di...

Machine-Learning Algorithms to Code Public Health Spending Accounts.

Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)
OBJECTIVES: Government public health expenditure data sets require time- and labor-intensive manipulation to summarize results that public health policy makers can use. Our objective was to compare the performances of machine-learning algorithms with...

Determining health care cost drivers in older Hodgkin lymphoma survivors using interpretable machine learning methods.

Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy
BACKGROUND: The cost of health care for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is projected to rise, making it essential to understand expenditure drivers across different demographics, including the older adult population. Although older HL patients co...

Novel Machine Learning Approach to Identify Preoperative Risk Factors Associated With Super-Utilization of Medicare Expenditure Following Surgery.

JAMA surgery
IMPORTANCE: Typically defined as the top 5% of health care users, super-utilizers are responsible for an estimated 40% to 55% of all health care costs. Little is known about which factors may be associated with increased risk of long-term postoperati...

Bundled Care for Hip Fractures: A Machine-Learning Approach to an Untenable Patient-Specific Payment Model.

Journal of orthopaedic trauma
OBJECTIVES: With the transition to a value-based model of care delivery, bundled payment models have been implemented with demonstrated success in elective lower extremity joint arthroplasty. Yet, hip fracture outcomes are dependent on patient-level ...

Identifying Specific Combinations of Multimorbidity that Contribute to Health Care Resource Utilization: An Analytic Approach.

Medical care
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity affects the majority of elderly adults and is associated with higher health costs and utilization, but how specific patterns of morbidity influence resource use is less understood.
