Predicting Changes in Pediatric Medical Complexity using Large Longitudinal Health Records.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Medically complex patients consume a disproportionate amount of care resources in hospitals but still often end up with sub-optimal clinical outcomes. Predicting dynamics of complexity in such patients can potentially help improve the quality of care...

Electronic Surveillance For Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common and costly healthcare-associated infection, yet measuring it accurately is challenging and resource-intensive. Electronic surveillance promises to make this task more objective and effic...

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 levels in children with aplastic anemia and its correlation with disease severity and response to immunosuppressive therapy.

Annals of African medicine
BACKGROUND: Aplastic anemia (AA) is an uncommon condition characterized by pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 have been shown to inhibit myelopoiesis and are major mediators of tissue damage. The primary goal of th...

Physiological Assessment of Delirium Severity: The Electroencephalographic Confusion Assessment Method Severity Score (E-CAM-S).

Critical care medicine
OBJECTIVES: Delirium is a common and frequently underdiagnosed complication in acutely hospitalized patients, and its severity is associated with worse clinical outcomes. We propose a physiologically based method to quantify delirium severity as a to...

Deep learning for abdominal ultrasound: A computer-aided diagnostic system for the severity of fatty liver.

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing over time worldwide, with similar trends to those of diabetes and obesity. A liver biopsy, the gold standard of diagnosis, is not favored due to its invasiveness. Meanwhile,...

Potential limitations in COVID-19 machine learning due to data source variability: A case study in the nCov2019 dataset.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The lack of representative coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) data is a bottleneck for reliable and generalizable machine learning. Data sharing is insufficient without data quality, in which source variability plays an important role. We...

Feature Selection is Critical for 2-Year Prognosis in Advanced Stage High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer by Using Machine Learning.

Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center
INTRODUCTION: Accurate prediction of patient prognosis can be especially useful for the selection of best treatment protocols. Machine Learning can serve this purpose by making predictions based upon generalizable clinical patterns embedded within le...

Assessing clinical heterogeneity in sepsis through treatment patterns and machine learning.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: To use unsupervised topic modeling to evaluate heterogeneity in sepsis treatment patterns contained within granular data of electronic health records.

Machine learning for psychiatric patient triaging: an investigation of cascading classifiers.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Develop an approach, One-class-at-a-time, for triaging psychiatric patients using machine learning on textual patient records. Our approach aims to automate the triaging process and reduce expert effort while providing high classification ...
