The aim of this study was to develop a predictive model of pediatric mortality in the early stages of intensive care unit (ICU) admission using machine learning. Patients less than 18 years old who were admitted to ICUs at four tertiary referral hosp...

In evolving clinical environments, the accuracy of prediction models deteriorates over time. Guidance on the design of model updating policies is limited, and there is limited exploration of the impact of different policies on future model performanc...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning algorithms have achieved human-equivalent performance in image recognition. However, the majority of clinical data within electronic health records is inherently in a non-image format. Therefore, creating visual representati...
BACKGROUND: Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality in children, but the accurate prediction of outcomes at the point of admission remains very challenging. Admission laboratory results are a promising potential source of ...

BACKGROUND: Large tertiary hospitals usually face long waiting lines; patients who want to receive hospitalization need to be screened in advance. The patient admission screening process involves a health-care professional ranking patients by analyzi...
We compare the performance of logistic regression with several alternative machine learning methods to estimate the risk of death for patients following an emergency admission to hospital based on the patients' first blood test results and physiologi...
BACKGROUND: Emergency admissions are a major source of healthcare spending. We aimed to derive, validate, and compare conventional and machine learning models for prediction of the first emergency admission. Machine learning methods are capable of ca...
