Machine learning vs addiction therapists: A pilot study predicting alcohol dependence treatment outcome from patient data in behavior therapy with adjunctive medication.

Journal of substance abuse treatment
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Clinical staff providing addiction treatment predict patient outcome poorly. Prognoses based on linear statistics are rarely replicated. Addiction is a complex non-linear behavior. Incorporating non-linear models, Machine L...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training in patients with Parkinson's disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Trials
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) was developed to restore gait function by promoting neuroplasticity through repetitive locomotor training and has been utilized in gait training. However, contradictory outcomes of RAGT have been report...

Machine learning methods for leveraging baseline covariate information to improve the efficiency of clinical trials.

Statistics in medicine
Clinical trials are widely considered the gold standard for treatment evaluation, and they can be highly expensive in terms of time and money. The efficiency of clinical trials can be improved by incorporating information from baseline covariates tha...

Effectiveness of robotics in improving upper extremity functions among people with neurological dysfunction: a systematic review.

The International journal of neuroscience
PURPOSE: The primary focus of this review was to find out the effectiveness of robotics in improving upper extremity functions among people with neurological problems in the arena of physical rehabilitation.

A machine learning ensemble to predict treatment outcomes following an Internet intervention for depression.

Psychological medicine
BACKGROUND: Some Internet interventions are regarded as effective treatments for adult depression, but less is known about who responds to this form of treatment.

Using clinical Natural Language Processing for health outcomes research: Overview and actionable suggestions for future advances.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The importance of incorporating Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods in clinical informatics research has been increasingly recognized over the past years, and has led to transformative advances. Typically, clinical NLP systems are developed and...

Machine learning for real-time prediction of complications in critical care: a retrospective study.

The Lancet. Respiratory medicine
BACKGROUND: The large amount of clinical signals in intensive care units can easily overwhelm health-care personnel and can lead to treatment delays, suboptimal care, or clinical errors. The aim of this study was to apply deep machine learning method...

Do powered over-ground lower limb robotic exoskeletons affect outcomes in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury?

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
To assess the effects of lower limb robotic exoskeletons on outcomes in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury. A systematic review of seven electronic databases was conducted. The primary outcome of interest was neuromuscular funct...

Value of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Predicting Risk of Outcomes in Studies That Use Electronic Health Record Data.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Data from electronic health records (EHRs) are increasingly used for risk prediction. However, EHRs do not reliably collect sociodemographic and neighborhood information, which has been shown to be associated with health. The added contri...

Deep learning applied to whole-brain connectome to determine seizure control after epilepsy surgery.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated whether deep learning applied to whole-brain presurgical structural connectomes could be used to predict postoperative seizure outcome more accurately than inference from clinical variables in patients with mesial temporal lob...
