OBJECTIVE: Predicting patient outcomes using healthcare/genomics data is an increasingly popular/important area. However, some diseases are rare and require data from multiple institutions to construct generalizable models. To address institutional d...
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) is a relatively new minimally invasive procedure for surgical treatment to manage symptomatic, therapy-refractory benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in prostate volumes >80 cm. Thus, postoperati...

The objective of this study was to design and develop a 30-day risk of hospital readmission predictive model using machine learning techniques. The proposed risk of readmission predictive model was then validated with the two most commonly used risk ...
BACKGROUND: Earlier research indicated that nearly 20% of patients diagnosed with either bipolar disorder (BD) or borderline personality disorder (BPD) also met criteria for the other diagnosis. Yet limited data are available concerning the potential...
