BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The increasing volume of free-text notes available in electronic health records has created an opportunity for natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to mine this unstructured data in order to detect and predict adverse outc...
BACKGROUND: Risk prediction models that estimate patient probabilities of adverse events are commonly deployed in bariatric surgery. The objective was to validate a machine learning (Super Learner) prediction model of 30-day readmission after bariatr...
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) models for allocating readmission-mitigating interventions are typically selected according to their discriminative ability, which may not necessarily translate into utility in allocation of resources. Our objective w...
BACKGROUND: Given the significant cost and morbidity of patients undergoing lumbar fusion, accurate preoperative risk-stratification would be of great utility. We aim to develop a machine learning model for prediction of major complications and readm...
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have revealed the relationship between lipid expression and increased cardiovascular risk in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Nevertheless, few investigations have focused on the risk stratific...
BACKGROUND: Advances in machine learning (ML) provide great opportunities in the prediction of hospital readmission. This review synthesizes the literature on ML methods and their performance for predicting hospital readmission in the US.
Sepsis is a major cause of mortality among hospitalized patients worldwide. Shorter time to administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics is associated with improved outcomes, but early recognition of sepsis remains a major challenge. In a two-center ...
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to describe the rates and causes of unplanned readmissions within 30 days following carotid artery stenting (CAS) and to use artificial intelligence machine learning analysis for creating a prediction model for short-te...
IMPORTANCE: Quality improvement programs for colorectal cancer surgery have been introduced with benchmarking based on quality indicators, such as mortality. Detailed (pre)operative characteristics may offer relevant information for proper case-mix c...
BACKGROUND: Readmission after spine surgery is costly and a relatively common occurrence. Previous research identified several risk factors for readmission; however, the conclusions remain equivocal. Machine learning algorithms offer a unique perspec...
