Predicting Spinal Surgery Candidacy From Imaging Data Using Machine Learning.

Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: The referral process for consultation with a spine surgeon remains inefficient, given a substantial proportion of referrals to spine surgeons are nonoperative.

Improving the delivery of palliative care through predictive modeling and healthcare informatics.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Access to palliative care (PC) is important for many patients with uncontrolled symptom burden from serious or complex illness. However, many patients who could benefit from PC do not receive it early enough or at all. We sought to address...

Machine learning-based outcome prediction and novel hypotheses generation for substance use disorder treatment.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Substance use disorder is a critical public health issue. Discovering the synergies among factors impacting treatment program success can help governments and treatment facilities develop effective policies. In this work, we propose a nove...

Development and validation of a machine learning model predicting illness trajectory and hospital utilization of COVID-19 patients: A nationwide study.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to severe strain on hospital capacity in many countries. We aim to develop a model helping planners assess expected COVID-19 hospital resource utilization based on individual patien...

Developing a standardized protocol for computational sentiment analysis research using health-related social media data.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Sentiment analysis is a popular tool for analyzing health-related social media content. However, existing studies exhibit numerous methodological issues and inconsistencies with respect to research design and results reporting, which could...

Automated model versus treating physician for predicting survival time of patients with metastatic cancer.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Being able to predict a patient's life expectancy can help doctors and patients prioritize treatments and supportive care. For predicting life expectancy, physicians have been shown to outperform traditional models that use only a few pred...

Machine-learning model to predict the cause of death using a stacking ensemble method for observational data.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Cause of death is used as an important outcome of clinical research; however, access to cause-of-death data is limited. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine-learning model that predicts the cause of death from the patient's l...

The Impossibility of Automating Ambiguity.

Artificial life
On the one hand, complexity science and enactive and embodied cognitive science approaches emphasize that people, as complex adaptive systems, are ambiguous, indeterminable, and inherently unpredictable. On the other, Machine Learning (ML) systems th...
