Assessment of Machine Learning vs Standard Prediction Rules for Predicting Hospital Readmissions.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Hospital readmissions are associated with patient harm and expense. Ways to prevent hospital readmissions have focused on identifying patients at greatest risk using prediction scores.

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...

Journal of pain & palliative care pharmacotherapy
Use of prescription opioids and problems of abuse and addiction have increased over the past decade. Claims-based studies have documented substantial economic burden of opioid abuse. This study utilized electronic health record (EHR) data to identify...

Economic benefits of microprocessor controlled prosthetic knees: a modeling study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Advanced prosthetic knees allow for more dynamic movements and improved quality of life, but payers have recently started questioning their value. To answer this question, the differential clinical outcomes and cost of microprocessor-cont...

Characterizing Autoimmune Disease-associated Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma in a SEER-Medicare Cohort.

Clinical lymphoma, myeloma & leukemia
BACKGROUND: Severe immune dysregulation such as seen in autoimmune (AI) disease is known to act as a significant risk factor for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, little is known about the demographics or clinical outcomes of DLBCL that...

Determining health care cost drivers in older Hodgkin lymphoma survivors using interpretable machine learning methods.

Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy
BACKGROUND: The cost of health care for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is projected to rise, making it essential to understand expenditure drivers across different demographics, including the older adult population. Although older HL patients co...

Artificial intelligence in Medicare: utilization, spending, and access to AI-enabled clinical software.

The American journal of managed care
OBJECTIVES: In 2018, CMS established reimbursement for the first Medicare-covered artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled clinical software: CT fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) to assist in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. This study quantified ...
