A comparison of three data mining time series models in prediction of monthly brucellosis surveillance data.

Zoonoses and public health
The early and accurately detection of brucellosis incidence change is of great importance for implementing brucellosis prevention strategic health planning. The present study investigated and compared the performance of the three data mining techniqu...

Machine learning techniques for personalized breast cancer risk prediction: comparison with the BCRAT and BOADICEA models.

Breast cancer research : BCR
BACKGROUND: Comprehensive breast cancer risk prediction models enable identifying and targeting women at high-risk, while reducing interventions in those at low-risk. Breast cancer risk prediction models used in clinical practice have low discriminat...

Cardiovascular disease risk prediction using automated machine learning: A prospective study of 423,604 UK Biobank participants.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Identifying people at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a cornerstone of preventative cardiology. Risk prediction models currently recommended by clinical guidelines are typically based on a limited number of predictors with sub-op...

Chief complaint classification with recurrent neural networks.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Syndromic surveillance detects and monitors individual and population health indicators through sources such as emergency department records. Automated classification of these records can improve outbreak detection speed and diagnosis accuracy. Curre...

Drivers for the development of an Animal Health Surveillance Ontology (AHSO).

Preventive veterinary medicine
Comprehensive reviews of syndromic surveillance in animal health have highlighted the hindrances to integration and interoperability among systems when data emerge from different sources. Discussions with syndromic surveillance experts in the fields ...

Tweet Classification Toward Twitter-Based Disease Surveillance: New Data, Methods, and Evaluations.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: The amount of medical and clinical-related information on the Web is increasing. Among the different types of information available, social media-based data obtained directly from people are particularly valuable and are attracting signif...

Using natural language processing for identification of herpes zoster ophthalmicus cases to support population-based study.

Clinical & experimental ophthalmology
IMPORTANCE: Diagnosis codes are inadequate for accurately identifying herpes zoster (HZ) ophthalmicus (HZO). There is significant lack of population-based studies on HZO due to the high expense of manual review of medical records.

Detecting Opioid-Related Aberrant Behavior using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
The United States is in the midst of a prescription opioid epidemic, with the number of yearly opioid-related overdose deaths increasing almost fourfold since 2000. To more effectively prevent unintentional opioid overdoses, the medical profession re...

Dengue forecasting in São Paulo city with generalized additive models, artificial neural networks and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average models.

PloS one
Globally, the number of dengue cases has been on the increase since 1990 and this trend has also been found in Brazil and its most populated city-São Paulo. Surveillance systems based on predictions allow for timely decision making processes, and in ...
