Identifying causal mechanisms in health care interventions using classification tree analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Mediation analysis identifies causal pathways by testing the relationships between the treatment, the outcome, and an intermediate variable that mediates the relationship between the treatment and outcome. This paper ...

Understanding patient satisfaction with received healthcare services: A natural language processing approach.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Important information is encoded in free-text patient comments. We determine the most common topics in patient comments, design automatic topic classifiers, identify comments ' sentiment, and find new topics in negative comments. Our annotation schem...

Outcome Prediction in Clinical Treatment Processes.

Journal of medical systems
Clinical outcome prediction, as strong implications for health service delivery of clinical treatment processes (CTPs), is important for both patients and healthcare providers. Prior studies typically use a priori knowledge, such as demographics or p...

A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating completeness and outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Despite immense interest, robotic-assisted thyroidectomy (RT) remains controversial in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This systematic review and meta-analysis compared surgical completeness and/or oncological outcomes ...
