Using machine learning methods for predicting inhospital mortality in patients undergoing open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Journal of biomedical informatics
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of the aortic vessel at abdominal level. This disease presents high rate of mortality and complications causing a decrease in the quality of life and increasing the cost of treatment. To estimate...

Prediction of In-hospital Mortality in Emergency Department Patients With Sepsis: A Local Big Data-Driven, Machine Learning Approach.

Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
OBJECTIVES: Predictive analytics in emergency care has mostly been limited to the use of clinical decision rules (CDRs) in the form of simple heuristics and scoring systems. In the development of CDRs, limitations in analytic methods and concerns wit...

Herpes simplex virus in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of medical intensive care unit patients: Association with lung injury and outcome.

Journal of critical care
PURPOSE: In intensive care unit (ICU) patients in whom bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed for suspected infectious pulmonary disease, we investigated the association of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the BALF with lung injury and patient...

Statistical Machines for Trauma Hospital Outcomes Research: Application to the PRospective, Observational, Multi-Center Major Trauma Transfusion (PROMMTT) Study.

PloS one
Improving the treatment of trauma, a leading cause of death worldwide, is of great clinical and public health interest. This analysis introduces flexible statistical methods for estimating center-level effects on individual outcomes in the context of...

Mortality prediction in intensive care units with the Super ICU Learner Algorithm (SICULA): a population-based study.

The Lancet. Respiratory medicine
BACKGROUND: Improved mortality prediction for patients in intensive care units is a big challenge. Many severity scores have been proposed, but findings of validation studies have shown that they are not adequately calibrated. The Super ICU Learner A...

In-hospital mortality and morbidity after robotic coronary artery surgery.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of robotic approaches on outcomes of coronary bypass surgery.

Ensemble of trees approaches to risk adjustment for evaluating a hospital's performance.

Health care management science
A commonly used method for evaluating a hospital's performance on an outcome is to compare the hospital's observed outcome rate to the hospital's expected outcome rate given its patient (case) mix and service. The process of calculating the hospital'...

Classifier calibration using splined empirical probabilities in clinical risk prediction.

Health care management science
The aims of supervised machine learning (ML) applications fall into three broad categories: classification, ranking, and calibration/probability estimation. Many ML methods and evaluation techniques relate to the first two. Nevertheless, there are ma...
