ESMAC BEST PAPER 2017: Using machine learning to overcome challenges in GMFCS level assignment.

Gait & posture
We used the random forest classifier to predict Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-IV from patient reported abilities recorded on the Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ). The classifier exhibited outstanding ac...

Identification of Clinically Meaningful Plasma Transfusion Subgroups Using Unsupervised Random Forest Clustering.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Statistical techniques such as propensity score matching and instrumental variable are commonly employed to "simulate" randomization and adjust for measured confounders in comparative effectiveness research. Despite such adjustments, the results of t...

Assessing patient risk of central line-associated bacteremia via machine learning.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) contribute to increased morbidity, length of hospital stay, and cost. Despite progress in understanding the risk factors, there remains a need to accurately predict the risk of CLAB...

Coronary CT Angiography-derived Fractional Flow Reserve: Machine Learning Algorithm versus Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling.

Radiology
Purpose To compare two technical approaches for determination of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR)-FFR derived from coronary CT angiography based on computational fluid dynamics (hereafter, FFR) and F...

Using machine learning techniques to develop forecasting algorithms for postoperative complications: protocol for a retrospective study.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Mortality and morbidity following surgery are pressing public health concerns in the USA. Traditional prediction models for postoperative adverse outcomes demonstrate good discrimination at the population level, but the ability to forec...

Creation of knowledge-based planning models intended for large scale distribution: Minimizing the effect of outlier plans.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Knowledge-based planning (KBP) can be used to estimate dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of organs at risk (OAR) using models. The task of model creation, however, can result in estimates with differing accuracy; particularly when outlier plans are not p...

Treatment-related features improve machine learning prediction of prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma patients.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current prognostic models for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients are solely based on staging information. Treatment-related data have not been included to date. Including such information, however, could help to improve these ...
