Sociodemographic bias in clinical machine learning models: a scoping review of algorithmic bias instances and mechanisms.

Journal of clinical epidemiology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Clinical machine learning (ML) technologies can sometimes be biased and their use could exacerbate health disparities. The extent to which bias is present, the groups who most frequently experience bias, and the mechanism t...

Mapping Spatiotemporal Disparities in Residential Electricity Inequality Using Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
The move toward electrification is critical for decarbonizing the energy sector but may exacerbate energy unaffordability without proper safeguards. Addressing this challenge requires capturing neighborhood-scale dynamics to uncover the blind spots i...

Clinical and socioeconomic predictors of hospital use and emergency department visits among children with medical complexity: A machine learning approach using administrative data.

PloS one
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to identify clinical and socioeconomic predictors of hospital and ED use among children with medical complexity within 1 and 5 years of an initial discharge between 2010 and 2013. A secondary object...

Haves and have-nots: socioeconomic position improves accuracy of machine learning algorithms for predicting high-impact chronic pain.

Pain
Lower socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with increased risk of developing chronic pain, experiencing more severe pain, and suffering greater pain-related disability. However, SEP is a multidimensional construct; there is a dearth of research...

Exploring key factors influencing depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly adult population: A machine learning-based method.

Archives of gerontology and geriatrics
OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to investigate the key factors, including demographics, socioeconomics, physical well-being, lifestyle, daily activities and loneliness that can impact depressive symptoms in the middle-aged and elderly population using mac...

Identifying Potential Factors Associated With Racial Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes: Retrospective Cohort Study Using Machine Learning on Real-World Data.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in COVID-19 incidence and outcomes have been widely reported. Non-Hispanic Black patients endured worse outcomes disproportionately compared with non-Hispanic White patients, but the epidemiological basis for these obse...

Identifying biological markers and sociodemographic factors that influence the gap between phenotypic and chronological ages.

Informatics for health & social care
INTRODUCTION: The world's population is aging rapidly, leading to increased public health and economic burdens due to age-related cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Early risk detection is essential for prevention and to improve the quali...

What explains adolescents' physical activity and sports participation during the COVID-19 pandemic? - an interpretable machine learning approach.

Journal of sports sciences
Adolescents' physical activity (PA) and sports participation declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the critical socio-ecological factors for PA and sports participation using a machine learning approach. We did a cross-...

Geographic inequities in neonatal survival in Nigeria: a cross-sectional evidence from spatial and artificial neural network analyses.

Journal of biosocial science
This study was conducted to provide empirical evidence of geographical variations of neonatal mortality and its associated social determinants with a view to improving neonatal survival at the subnational level in Nigeria. With a combination of spati...

Explainable artificial intelligence models for predicting pregnancy termination among reproductive-aged women in six east African countries: machine learning approach.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
Pregnancy termination remains a complex and sensitive issue with approximately 45% of abortions worldwide being unsafe, and 97% of abortions occurring in developing countries. Unsafe pregnancy terminations have implications for women's reproductive h...
