OBJECTIVES: Develop, as a proof of concept, a recurrent neural network model using electronic medical records data capable of continuously assessing an individual child's risk of mortality throughout their ICU stay as a proxy measure of severity of i...
IMPORTANCE: Accurate prediction of adverse outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can guide the triage of care services and shared decision-making, and novel methods hold promise for using existing data to generate additional insights.
Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in the intensive care unit. Early prediction of sepsis can reduce the overall mortality rate and cost of sepsis treatment. Some studies have predicted mortality and development of sepsis using machine learning m...
New York City quickly became an epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic. An ability to triage patients was needed due to a sudden and massive increase in patients during the COVID-19 pandemic as healthcare providers incurred an exponential increase in wor...
BACKGROUND: Clinical laboratories have traditionally used a single critical value for thrombocytopenic events. This system, however, could lead to inaccuracies and inefficiencies, causing alarm fatigue and compromised patient safety.

Acute infection, if not rapidly and accurately detected, can lead to sepsis, organ failure and even death. Current detection of acute infection as well as assessment of a patient's severity of illness are imperfect. Characterization of a patient's im...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop, train, and test different neural network (NN) algorithm-based models to improve the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score performance to predict in-hospital mortality after an acute co...
Palliative care is referred to a set of programs for patients that suffer life-limiting illnesses. These programs aim to maximize the quality of life (QoL) for the last stage of life. They are currently based on clinical evaluation of the risk of 1-y...

OBJECTIVE: In applying machine learning (ML) to electronic health record (EHR) data, many decisions must be made before any ML is applied; such preprocessing requires substantial effort and can be labor-intensive. As the role of ML in health care gro...

OBJECTIVE: Prediction of disease phenotypes and their outcomes is a difficult task. In practice, patients routinely seek second opinions from multiple clinical experts for complex disease diagnosis. Our objective is to mimic such a practice of seekin...
