Machine Learning to Allocate Palliative Care Consultations During Cancer Treatment.

Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology
PURPOSE: For patients with advanced cancer, early consultations with palliative care (PC) specialists reduce costs, improve quality of life, and prolong survival. However, capacity limitations prevent all patients from receiving PC shortly after diag...

Application of classification machine learning algorithms for characterizing nutrient transport in a clay plain agricultural watershed.

Journal of environmental management
Excess nutrients in surface water and groundwater can lead to water quality deterioration in available water resources. Thus, the classification of nutrient concentrations in water resources has gained significant attention during recent decades. Mac...

Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence Use in Primary Care: A Qualitative Study with Providers and Staff of Ontario Community Health Centres.

Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM
PURPOSE: To understand staff and health care providers' views on potential use of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools to help care for patients within a primary care setting.

The evolving use of robotic surgery: a population-based analysis.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery has integrated into the healthcare system despite limited evidence demonstrating its clinical benefit. Our objectives were (i) to describe secular trends and (ii) patient- and system-level determinants of the receipt of ...

Validation of a natural language processing algorithm to identify adenomas and measure adenoma detection rates across a health system: a population-level study.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Measuring adenoma detection rates (ADRs) at the population level is challenging because pathology reports are often reported in an unstructured format; further, there is significant variation in reporting methods across instituti...

Using deep-learning in fetal ultrasound analysis for diagnosis of cystic hygroma in the first trimester.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: To develop and internally validate a deep-learning algorithm from fetal ultrasound images for the diagnosis of cystic hygromas in the first trimester.

Deep learning of quantitative ultrasound multi-parametric images at pre-treatment to predict breast cancer response to chemotherapy.

Scientific reports
In this study, a novel deep learning-based methodology was investigated to predict breast cancer response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using the quantitative ultrasound (QUS) multi-parametric imaging at pre-treatment. QUS multi-parametric image...

Comparing regression modeling strategies for predicting hometime.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Hometime, the total number of days a person is living in the community (not in a healthcare institution) in a defined period of time after a hospitalization, is a patient-centred outcome metric increasingly used in healthcare research. Ho...
