BACKGROUND: Although prediction of hospital readmissions has been studied in medical patients, it has received relatively little attention in surgical patient populations. Published predictors require information only available at the moment of disch...
BACKGROUND: Electronic health record-derived data and novel analytics, such as machine learning, offer promising approaches to identify high-risk patients and inform nursing practice.

The objective of this study was to design and develop a 30-day risk of hospital readmission predictive model using machine learning techniques. The proposed risk of readmission predictive model was then validated with the two most commonly used risk ...
BACKGROUND: Earlier research indicated that nearly 20% of patients diagnosed with either bipolar disorder (BD) or borderline personality disorder (BPD) also met criteria for the other diagnosis. Yet limited data are available concerning the potential...
Same-day endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and cholecystectomy (LC) could potentially reduce hospital length of stay (HLOS). Patients undergoing same-day procedures (N = 164) between 2012 and 2014 were compared with different-day ...

RATIONALE: Patients transferred from the intensive care unit to the wards who are later readmitted to the intensive care unit have increased length of stay, healthcare expenditure, and mortality compared with those who are never readmitted. Improving...

Unplanned hospital readmissions are a burden to the healthcare system and to the patients. To lower the readmission rates, machine learning approaches can be used to create predictive models, with the intention to provide actionable information for c...
