Training machine learning models to predict 30-day mortality in patients discharged from the emergency department: a retrospective, population-based registry study.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work was to train machine learning models to identify patients at end of life with clinically meaningful diagnostic accuracy, using 30-day mortality in patients discharged from the emergency department (ED) as a proxy.

Readmission prediction using deep learning on electronic health records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Unscheduled 30-day readmissions are a hallmark of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients that pose significant health risks and escalate care cost. In order to reduce readmissions and curb the cost of care, it is important to initiate targeted inter...

Detecting adverse drug reactions in discharge summaries of electronic medical records using Readpeer.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Hospital discharge summaries offer a potentially rich resource to enhance pharmacovigilance efforts to evaluate drug safety in real-world clinical practice. However, it is infeasible for experts to read through all discharge summaries to ...

Analysis of Unstructured Text-Based Data Using Machine Learning Techniques: The Case of Pediatric Emergency Department Records in Nicaragua.

Medical care research and review : MCRR
Free-text information is still widely used in emergency department (ED) records. Machine learning techniques are useful for analyzing narratives, but they have been used mostly for English-language data sets. Considering such a framework, the perform...

Machine Learning Readmission Risk Modeling: A Pediatric Case Study.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: Hospital readmission prediction in pediatric hospitals has received little attention. Studies have focused on the readmission frequency analysis stratified by disease and demographic/geographic characteristics but there are no predictive ...

Predicting discharge placement after elective surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis using machine learning methods.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: An excessive amount of total hospitalization is caused by delays due to patients waiting to be placed in a rehabilitation facility or skilled nursing facility (RF/SNF). An accurate preoperative prediction of who would need a RF/SNF place aft...

Development of a machine learning algorithm predicting discharge placement after surgery for spondylolisthesis.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: We aimed to develop a machine learning algorithm that can accurately predict discharge placement in patients undergoing elective surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Assessment of Time-Series Machine Learning Methods for Forecasting Hospital Discharge Volume.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Forecasting the volume of hospital discharges has important implications for resource allocation and represents an opportunity to improve patient safety at periods of elevated risk.

An improved support vector machine-based diabetic readmission prediction.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In healthcare systems, the cost of unplanned readmission accounts for a large proportion of total hospital payment. Hospital-specific readmission rate becomes a critical issue around the world. Quantification and early ident...
