BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being used in many areas of health care. Its use in infection management is catching up as identified in a recent review in this journal. We present here a complementary review to this work.
OBJECTIVES: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are rapidly growing in capability and increasingly applied to model outcomes and complications within medicine. In spinal surgery, post-operative surgical site infections (SSIs) are a rare...
In this study we propose the use of text mining and machine learning methods to predict and detect Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) using textual descriptions of surgeries and post-operative patients' records, mined from the database of a high complex...
There has been tremendous growth in the amount of new surgical site infection (SSI) data generated. Key challenges exist in understanding the data for robust clinical decision-support. Limitations of traditional methodologies to handle these data le...

Combined intravenous and local intrathecal administration of meropenem in patients after craniotomy is widely used to treat intracranial infections. However, the optimal dosing regimen of meropenem has not been investigated, posing a risk to treatmen...
BACKGROUND: Machine-learning can elucidate complex relationships/provide insight to important variables for large datasets. This study aimed to develop an accurate model to predict neonatal surgical site infections (SSI) using different statistical m...
Free-text reports in electronic health records (EHRs) contain medically significant information - signs, symptoms, findings, diagnoses - recorded by clinicians during patient encounters. These reports contain rich clinical information which can be le...
