Machine learning in infection management using routine electronic health records: tools, techniques, and reporting of future technologies.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
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.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict postoperative surgical site infection: A retrospective cohort of 4046 posterior spinal fusions.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
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...

Predicting the occurrence of surgical site infections using text mining and machine learning.

PloS one
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...

Artificial Intelligence Methods for Surgical Site Infection: Impacts on Detection, Monitoring, and Decision Making.

Surgical infections
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...

Chronic wound assessment and infection detection method.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Numerous patients suffer from chronic wounds and wound infections nowadays. Until now, the care for wounds after surgery still remain a tedious and challenging work for the medical personnel and patients. As a result, with the help of the...

A Robust AUC Maximization Framework With Simultaneous Outlier Detection and Feature Selection for Positive-Unlabeled Classification.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
The positive-unlabeled (PU) classification is a common scenario in real-world applications such as healthcare, text classification, and bioinformatics, in which we only observe a few samples labeled as "positive" together with a large volume of "unla...

Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation of meropenem after intravenous and intrathecal administration in postoperative neurosurgical patients.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
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...

Enhanced neonatal surgical site infection prediction model utilizing statistically and clinically significant variables in combination with a machine learning algorithm.

American journal of surgery
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...

Detecting Evidence of Intra-abdominal Surgical Site Infections from Radiology Reports Using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
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...
