Using EHRs and Machine Learning for Heart Failure Survival Analysis.

Studies in health technology and informatics
"Heart failure (HF) is a frequent health problem with high morbidity and mortality, increasing prevalence and escalating healthcare costs" [1]. By calculating a HF survival risk score based on patient-specific characteristics from Electronic Health R...

Exploring brand-name drug mentions on Twitter for pharmacovigilance.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Twitter has been proposed by several studies as a means to track public health trends such as influenza and Ebola outbreaks by analyzing user messages in order to measure different population features and interests. In this work we analyze the number...

Is demography destiny? Application of machine learning techniques to accurately predict population health outcomes from a minimal demographic dataset.

PloS one
For years, we have relied on population surveys to keep track of regional public health statistics, including the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Because of the cost and limitations of such surveys, we often do not have the up-to-date data o...

Predictive modeling in pediatric traumatic brain injury using machine learning.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a significant burden and diagnostic challenge in the emergency department (ED). While large North American research networks have derived clinical prediction rules for the head injured ch...

Natural Language Processing for Real-Time Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Surveillance: Results of a Pilot Implementation Trial.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a quality benchmark. To streamline conventional detection methods, an electronic surveillance system augmented with natural language processing (NLP), which gathers data ...

Combining Search, Social Media, and Traditional Data Sources to Improve Influenza Surveillance.

PLoS computational biology
We present a machine learning-based methodology capable of providing real-time ("nowcast") and forecast estimates of influenza activity in the US by leveraging data from multiple data sources including: Google searches, Twitter microblogs, nearly rea...

Into the Bowels of Depression: Unravelling Medical Symptoms Associated with Depression by Applying Machine-Learning Techniques to a Community Based Population Sample.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Depression is commonly comorbid with many other somatic diseases and symptoms. Identification of individuals in clusters with comorbid symptoms may reveal new pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment targets. The aim of this research w...

Harnessing information from injury narratives in the 'big data' era: understanding and applying machine learning for injury surveillance.

Injury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention
OBJECTIVE: Vast amounts of injury narratives are collected daily and are available electronically in real time and have great potential for use in injury surveillance and evaluation. Machine learning algorithms have been developed to assist in identi...

Salmonella infections modelling in Mississippi using neural network and geographical information system (GIS).

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: Mississippi (MS) is one of the southern states with high rates of foodborne infections. The objectives of this paper are to determine the extent of Salmonella and Escherichia coli infections in MS, and determine the Salmonella infections ...
