Predicting Dental General Anesthesia Use among Children with Behavioral Health Conditions.

JDR clinical and translational research
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate how different data sources affect the performance of machine learning algorithms that predict dental general anesthesia use among children with behavioral health conditions.

Understanding COVID-19 infection among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities using machine learning.

Disability and health journal
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Predicting COVID-19 infection has been difficult.

Integrating human services and criminal justice data with claims data to predict risk of opioid overdose among Medicaid beneficiaries: A machine-learning approach.

PloS one
Health system data incompletely capture the social risk factors for drug overdose. This study aimed to improve the accuracy of a machine-learning algorithm to predict opioid overdose risk by integrating human services and criminal justice data with h...

Robotic Prostatectomy and Prostate Cancer-Related Medicaid Spending: Evidence from New York State.

Journal of general internal medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotic prostatectomy is a costly new technology, but the costs may be offset by changes in treatment patterns. The net effect of this technology on Medicaid spending has not been assessed.

Characteristics of Twitter Use by State Medicaid Programs in the United States: Machine Learning Approach.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Twitter is a potentially valuable tool for public health officials and state Medicaid programs in the United States, which provide public health insurance to 72 million Americans.

Prevalence of Financial Considerations Documented in Primary Care Encounters as Identified by Natural Language Processing Methods.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Quantifying patient-physician cost conversations is challenging but important as out-of-pocket spending by US patients increases and patients are increasingly interested in discussing costs with their physicians.

Machine Learning Accurately Predicts Short-Term Outcomes Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Ankle Fractures.

The Journal of foot and ankle surgery : official publication of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
Ankle fractures are common orthopedic injuries with favorable outcomes when managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Several patient-related risk factors may contribute to poor short-term outcomes, and machine learning may be a valua...

Machine learning approaches for predicting high cost high need patient expenditures in health care.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: This paper studies the temporal consistency of health care expenditures in a large state Medicaid program. Predictive machine learning models were used to forecast the expenditures, especially for the high-cost, high-need (HCHN) patients.

Identifying high-dose opioid prescription risks using machine learning: A focus on sociodemographic characteristics.

Journal of opioid management
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to leverage machine learning techniques to analyze administrative claims and socioeconomic data, with the aim of identifying and interpreting the risk factors associated with high-dose opioid prescribing.
