International journal of environmental research and public health
Evidence from some studies suggest that osteoarthritis (OA) patients are often prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are not in accordance with their cardiovascular (CV) or gastrointestinal (GI) risk profiles. However, no suc...

Machine learning to predict mortality after rehabilitation among patients with severe stroke.

Scientific reports
Stroke is among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Approximately 20-25% of stroke survivors present severe disability, which is associated with increased mortality risk. Prognostication is inherent in the process of clinical decisi...

Closing the Digital Health Evidence Gap: Development of a Predictive Score to Maximize Patient Outcomes.

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
Clinical studies of telemedicine (TM) programs for chronic illness have demonstrated mixed results across settings and populations. With recent uptake in use of digital health modalities, more precise patient classification may improve outcomes, eff...

A Machine Learning-Based Approach for Predicting Patient Punctuality in Ambulatory Care Centers.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Late-arriving patients have become a prominent concern in several ambulatory care clinics across the globe. Accommodating them could lead to detrimental ramifications such as schedule disruption and increased waiting time for forthcoming patients, wh...

Assessment of utilization efficiency using machine learning techniques: A study of heterogeneity in preoperative healthcare utilization among super-utilizers.

American journal of surgery
INTRODUCTION: In the United States, 5% of patients represent up to 55% of all health care costs. This study sought to define healthcare utilization patterns among super-utilizers, as well as assess possible variation in patient outcomes.

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.
