Predicting hospital readmission for lupus patients: An RNN-LSTM-based deep-learning methodology.

Computers in biology and medicine
Hospital readmission is one of the critical metrics used for measuring the performance of hospitals. The HITECH Act imposes penalties when patients are readmitted to hospitals if they are diagnosed with one of the six conditions mentioned in the Act....

A machine learning model to predict the risk of 30-day readmissions in patients with heart failure: a retrospective analysis of electronic medical records data.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in the United States. Advances in big data solutions allow for storage, management, and mining of large volumes of structured and semi-structured data, such as complex healthca...

Predicting Hospital Readmission via Cost-Sensitive Deep Learning.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
With increased use of electronic medical records (EMRs), data mining on medical data has great potential to improve the quality of hospital treatment and increase the survival rate of patients. Early readmission prediction enables early intervention,...

How Confounder Strength Can Affect Allocation of Resources in Electronic Health Records.

Perspectives in health information management
When electronic health record (EHR) data are used, multiple approaches may be available for measuring the same variable, introducing potentially confounding factors. While additional information may be gleaned and residual confounding reduced through...

Estimating causal effects for survival (time-to-event) outcomes by combining classification tree analysis and propensity score weighting.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: A common approach to assessing treatment effects in nonrandomized studies with time-to-event outcomes is to estimate propensity scores and compute weights using logistic regression, test for covariate balance, and then...

Prediction of early unplanned intensive care unit readmission in a UK tertiary care hospital: a cross-sectional machine learning approach.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: Unplanned readmissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) are highly undesirable, increasing variance in care, making resource planning difficult and potentially increasing length of stay and mortality in some settings. Identifying patients...

Predicting all-cause risk of 30-day hospital readmission using artificial neural networks.

PloS one
Avoidable hospital readmissions not only contribute to the high costs of healthcare in the US, but also have an impact on the quality of care for patients. Large scale adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) has created the opportunity to proacti...

A Natural Language Processing Framework for Assessing Hospital Readmissions for Patients With COPD.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
With the passage of recent federal legislation, many medical institutions are now responsible for reaching target hospital readmission rates. Chronic diseases account for many hospital readmissions and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been r...
