Prediction of admission in pediatric emergency department with deep neural networks and triage textual data.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a global condition that severely worsens attention to patients, increases clinical risks and affects hospital cost management. A correct and early prediction of ED's admission is of high value and a motivatio...

Comparison of Prediction Model Performance Updating Protocols: Using a Data-Driven Testing Procedure to Guide Updating.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
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...

Combining patient visual timelines with deep learning to predict mortality.

PloS one
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...

Modelling outcomes after paediatric brain injury with admission laboratory values: a machine-learning approach.

Pediatric research
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 ...

Using machine-learning methods to support health-care professionals in making admission decisions.

The International journal of health planning and management
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...

A comparison of logistic regression models with alternative machine learning methods to predict the risk of in-hospital mortality in emergency medical admissions via external validation.

Health informatics journal
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...

Optimal intensive care outcome prediction over time using machine learning.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Prognostication is an essential tool for risk adjustment and decision making in the intensive care unit (ICU). Research into prognostication in ICU has so far been limited to data from admission or the first 24 hours. Most ICU admissions ...

Low vitamin D at ICU admission is associated with cancer, infections, acute respiratory insufficiency, and liver failure.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVES: Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with comorbidities and poor prognosis. However, this association in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the serum...
