Predicting Inpatient Payments Prior to Lower Extremity Arthroplasty Using Deep Learning: Which Model Architecture Is Best?

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in machine learning have given rise to deep learning, which uses hierarchical layers to build models, offering the ability to advance value-based healthcare by better predicting patient outcomes and costs of a given treatm...

A two-site survey of medical center personnel's willingness to share clinical data for research: implications for reproducible health NLP research.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: A shareable repository of clinical notes is critical for advancing natural language processing (NLP) research, and therefore a goal of many NLP researchers is to create a shareable repository of clinical notes, that has breadth (from mult...

Parsing clinical text using the state-of-the-art deep learning based parsers: a systematic comparison.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: A shareable repository of clinical notes is critical for advancing natural language processing (NLP) research, and therefore a goal of many NLP researchers is to create a shareable repository of clinical notes, that has breadth (from mult...

Widespread occurrence of glyphosate in urine from pet dogs and cats in New York State, USA.

The Science of the total environment
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States, which has led to its ubiquitous occurrence in food and water and regular detection in human urine at concentrations of 1-10 μg/L. Data pertaining to health risks arising from ...

Space-time trends of PM constituents in the conterminous United States estimated by a machine learning approach, 2005-2015.

Environment international
Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a complex mixture of chemical constituents emitted from various emission sources or through secondary reactions/processes; however, PM is regulated mostly based on its total mass c...

Discovering and identifying New York heart association classification from electronic health records.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is an established pacing therapy for heart failure patients. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) class is often used as a measure of a patient's response to CRT. Identifying NYHA class for heart f...

Estimating Local Costs Associated With Clostridium difficile Infection Using Machine Learning and Electronic Medical Records.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
BACKGROUND Reported per-patient costs of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) vary by 2 orders of magnitude among different hospitals, implying that infection control officers need precise, local analyses to guide rational decision making between in...

Analysis of the Transperitoneal Approach to Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy for the Treatment of Anterior and Posterior Renal Masses.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
OBJECTIVE: Few studies have directly assessed the impact of tumor anterior/posterior location during transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (TPRPN). The present study sought to assess perioperative and pathological outcomes...

A systematic comparison of feature space effects on disease classifier performance for phenotype identification of five diseases.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Automated phenotype identification plays a critical role in cohort selection and bioinformatics data mining. Natural Language Processing (NLP)-informed classification techniques can robustly identify phenotypes in unstructured medical notes. In this ...

Annotating risk factors for heart disease in clinical narratives for diabetic patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...
