Applying Risk Models on Patients with Unknown Predictor Values: An Incremental Learning Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In clinical practice, many patients may have unknown or missing values for some predictors, causing that the developed risk models cannot be directly applied on these patients. In this paper, we propose an incremental learning approach to apply a dev...

Towards sophisticated learning from EHRs: increasing prediction specificity and accuracy using clinically meaningful risk criteria.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Computer based analysis of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has the potential to provide major novel insights of benefit both to specific individuals in the context of personalized medicine, as well as on the level of population-wide health care and ...

Defining a Patient Population With Cirrhosis: An Automated Algorithm With Natural Language Processing.

Journal of clinical gastroenterology
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to use natural language processing (NLP) as a supplement to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and laboratory values in an automated algorithm to better define and risk-stratif...

Artificial intelligence. Fears of an AI pioneer.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
From the enraged robots in the 1920 play R.U.R. to the homicidal computer H.A.L. in 2001: A Space Odyssey, science fiction writers have embraced the dark side of artificial intelligence (AI) ever since the concept entered our collective imagination. ...

Gist Representations and Communication of Risks about HIV-AIDS: A Fuzzy-Trace Theory Approach.

Current HIV research
As predicted by fuzzy-trace theory, people with a range of training—from untrained adolescents to expert physicians—are susceptible to biases and errors in judgment and perception of HIV-AIDS risk. To explain why this occurs, we introduce fuzzy-trace...

The patient after cardiac valve surgery--risks and complications.

European heart journal
Nearly all forms of valve surgery are incompatible with fitness to fly. The biological valves have a small but definite thrombo-embolic risk and are prone to late failure. The prosthetic valves require long-term anticoagulant therapy and carry an una...
