BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a national crisis in which pediatric patients are often prioritized at lower levels. Because the prediction of prognosis for pediatric patients is important but difficult, we develo...
Efficient management of hospitalized patients requires carefully planning each stay by taking into account patients' pathologies and hospital constraints. Therefore, the ability to accurately estimate length of stays allows for better interprofession...

The increasing availability of electronic health records and administrative data and the adoption of computer-based technologies in healthcare have significantly focused on medical informatics. Sepsis is a time-critical condition with high mortality,...
OBJECTIVE: Wound infection is prevalent in home healthcare (HHC) and often leads to hospitalizations. However, none of the previous studies of wounds in HHC have used data from clinical notes. Therefore, the authors created a more accurate descriptio...
BACKGROUND:: In a pandemic situation (e.g., COVID-19), the most important issue is to select patients at risk of high mortality at an early stage and to provide appropriate treatments. However, a few studies applied the model to predict in-hospital m...

Unplanned hospital readmissions are a burden to patients and increase healthcare costs. A wide variety of machine learning (ML) models have been suggested to predict unplanned hospital readmissions. These ML models were often specifically trained on ...
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.
