The predictive role of identifying frailty in assessing the need for palliative care in the elderly: the application of machine learning algorithm.

Journal of health, population, and nutrition
BACKGROUND: Palliative care is a key component of integrated care to improve care quality and reduce hospitalization costs for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aims to use machine learning algorithms to create an...

Towards real-time conformal palliative treatment of spine metastases: A deep learning approach for Hounsfield Unit recovery of cone beam CT images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The extension of onboard cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging for real-time treatment planning is constrained by limitations in image quality. Synthetic CT (sCT) generation using deep learning provides a potential solution to these limitations.

Systematic literature review on the application of explainable artificial intelligence in palliative care studies.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: As machine learning models become increasingly prevalent in palliative care, explainability has become a critical factor in their successful deployment in this sensitive field, where decisions can profoundly impact patient health and qual...

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Uncover Symptom Burden in Palliative Care: Analysis of Nonscheduled Visits Using a Phi-3 Small Language Model.

JCO global oncology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to differentiate nonscheduled visits (NSVs) in an outpatient palliative care setting that are driven by or accompanied by uncontrolled symptoms from those that are administrative or routine, such as prescription refills and ...

Towards clinical prediction with transparency: An explainable AI approach to survival modelling in residential aged care.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Scalable, flexible and highly interpretable tools for predicting mortality in residential aged care facilities for the purpose of informing and optimizing palliative care decisions, do not exist. This study is the first and ...

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Models to Identify Potential Palliative Care Beneficiaries: A Systematic Review.

Journal of gerontological nursing
PURPOSE: The current review examined the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques in palliative care, specifically focusing on models used to identify potential beneficiaries of palliative services among indivi...

Artificial intelligence and large language models in palliative medicine clinical practice and education.

BMJ supportive & palliative care
As we approach 2034, we anticipate significant advancements in digital technologies and their impact across various domains, including palliative and end-of-life care and perhaps higher education more generally. Predicting technological breakthroughs...

Machine Learning Reveals Demographic Disparities in Palliative Care Timing Among Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury Receiving Neurosurgical Consultation.

Neurocritical care
BACKGROUND: Timely palliative care (PC) consultations offer demonstrable benefits for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet their implementation remains inconsistent. This study employs machine learning methods to identify distinct patient ...

Large Language Models to Identify Advance Care Planning in Patients With Advanced Cancer.

Journal of pain and symptom management
CONTEXT: Efficiently tracking Advance Care Planning (ACP) documentation in electronic heath records (EHRs) is essential for quality improvement and research efforts. The use of large language models (LLMs) offers a novel approach to this task.

A model for integrating palliative care into Eastern Mediterranean health systems with a primary care approach.

BMC palliative care
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Palliative care in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) faces challenges despite the high number of patients in need. To provide accessible, affordable, and timely services, it is crucial to adopt a suitable care model. World h...
