Sleep disturbances and PTSD: identifying baseline predictors of insomnia response in an intensive treatment programme.

European journal of psychotraumatology
This study examined whether baseline demographic and clinical variables could predict clinically significant reductions in insomnia symptoms among veterans receiving a 2-week Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)-based intensive PTSD treatment programm...

Identifying opioid relapse during COVID-19 using natural language processing of nationwide Veterans Health Administration electronic medical record data.

Journal of psychopathology and clinical science
Novel and automated means of opioid use and relapse risk detection are needed. Unstructured electronic medical record data, including written progress notes, can be mined for clinically relevant information, including the presence of substance use an...

Assessment of PTSD in military personnel via machine learning based on physiological habituation in a virtual immersive environment.

Scientific reports
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition triggered by exposure to traumatic events that leads to physical health problems and socioeconomic impairments. Although the complex symptomatology of PTSD makes diagnosis diff...

A deep learning analysis for dual healthcare system users and risk of opioid use disorder.

Medication Prescription Policy for US Veterans With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Causal Machine Learning Approach.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death among American men. If detected and treated at an early stage, prostate cancer is often curable. However, an advanced stage such as metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRP...

Using Natural Language Processing to develop risk-tier specific suicide prediction models for Veterans Affairs patients.

Journal of psychiatric research
Suicide is a leading cause of death. Suicide rates are particularly elevated among Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) patients. While VA has made impactful suicide prevention advances, efforts primarily target high-risk patients with documented suic...

Using natural language processing to evaluate temporal patterns in suicide risk variation among high-risk Veterans.

Psychiatry research
Measuring suicide risk fluctuation remains difficult, especially for high-suicide risk patients. Our study addressed this issue by leveraging Dynamic Topic Modeling, a natural language processing method that evaluates topic changes over time, to anal...

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning COVID-19 Veteran (COVet) Deterioration Risk Score.

Critical care explorations
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To develop the COVid Veteran (COVet) score for clinical deterioration in Veterans hospitalized with COVID-19 and further validate this model in both Veteran and non-Veteran samples. No such score has been derived and validat...
