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...

A machine learning approach to triaging patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

PloS one
COPD patients are burdened with a daily risk of acute exacerbation and loss of control, which could be mitigated by effective, on-demand decision support tools. In this study, we present a machine learning-based strategy for early detection of exacer...

Detection of lung cancer in exhaled breath with an electronic nose using support vector machine analysis.

Journal of breath research
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies and has a low 5-year survival rate. There are no cheap, simple and widely available screening methods for the early diagnostics of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to determine whether analysis...

Diagnosing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with machine learning.

Health informatics journal
This study examines the clinical decision support systems in healthcare, in particular about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, such as Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The empirical pulmonology study of...

Early Detection of Peak Demand Days of Chronic Respiratory Diseases Emergency Department Visits Using Artificial Neural Networks.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Chronic respiratory diseases, mainly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), affect the lives of people by limiting their activities in various aspects. Overcrowding of hospital emergency departments (EDs) due to respiratory diseases...

The attractor recurrent neural network based on fuzzy functions: An effective model for the classification of lung abnormalities.

Computers in biology and medicine
The respiratory system dynamic is of high significance when it comes to the detection of lung abnormalities, which highlights the importance of presenting a reliable model for it. In this paper, we introduce a novel dynamic modelling method for the c...

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...

Classification of Exacerbation Frequency in the COPDGene Cohort Using Deep Learning With Deep Belief Networks.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
This study aims to develop an automatic classifier based on deep learning for exacerbation frequency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A three-layer deep belief network (DBN) with two hidden layers and one visible layer w...
