Opioid addiction in the United States has come to national attention as opioid overdose (OD) related deaths have risen at alarming rates. Combating opioid epidemic becomes a high priority for not only governments but also healthcare providers. This d...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative recovery after total hip arthroplasty (THA) can lead to the development of prolonged opioid use but there are few tools for predicting this adverse outcome. The purpose of this study is to develop machine learning algorithms...
This study evaluated prediction performance of three different machine learning (ML) techniques in predicting opioid misuse among U.S. adolescents. Data were drawn from the 2015-2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N = 41,579 adolescents, age...
IMPORTANCE: Automatic curation of consumer-generated, opioid-related social media big data may enable real-time monitoring of the opioid epidemic in the United States.
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a machine-learning algorithm to improve prediction of incident OUD diagnosis among Medicare beneficiaries with ≥1 opioid prescriptions.
BACKGROUND: Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), defined as a physical or psychological reliance on opioids, is a public health epidemic. Identifying adults likely to develop OUD can help public health officials in planning effective intervention strategies. T...
