OBJECTIVE: Access to palliative care (PC) is important for many patients with uncontrolled symptom burden from serious or complex illness. However, many patients who could benefit from PC do not receive it early enough or at all. We sought to address...
BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this study was to analyze the survival predictions obtained from a web platform allowing for computation of the so-called Bone Metastases Ensemble Trees for Survival (BMETS). This prediction model is based on a machine lear...
PURPOSE: The Bone Metastases Ensemble Trees for Survival (BMETS) model uses a machine learning algorithm to estimate survival time following consultation for palliative radiation therapy for symptomatic bone metastases (SBM). BMETS was developed at a...
The so-called artificial intelligence tools applied to palliative care (machine learning, natural language processing) have great potential to support clinicians in improving decision-making processes and in identifying those who are at high risk of ...
