Rapid identification of slow healing wounds.

Wound repair and regeneration : official publication of the Wound Healing Society [and] the European Tissue Repair Society
Chronic nonhealing wounds have a prevalence of 2% in the United States, and cost an estimated $50 billion annually. Accurate stratification of wounds for risk of slow healing may help guide treatment and referral decisions. We have applied modern mac...

Telemedicine Supported Chronic Wound Tissue Prediction Using Classification Approaches.

Journal of medical systems
Telemedicine helps to deliver health services electronically to patients with the advancement of communication systems and health informatics. Chronic wound (CW) detection and its healing rate assessment at remote distance is very much difficult due ...

Automated Reconciliation of Radiology Reports and Discharge Summaries.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
We study machine learning techniques to automatically identify limb abnormalities (including fractures, dislocations and foreign bodies) from radiology reports. For patients presenting to the Emergency Room (ER) with suspected limb abnormalities (e.g...

Prediction of feature genes in trauma patients with the TNF rs1800629 A allele using support vector machine.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α variant is closely linked to sepsis syndrome and mortality after severe trauma. We aimed to identify feature genes associated with the TNF rs1800629 A allele in trauma patients and help to direct them toward ...

Injury narrative text classification using factorization model.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Narrative text is a useful way of identifying injury circumstances from the routine emergency department data collections. Automatically classifying narratives based on machine learning techniques is a promising technique, which can consequently redu...

Variable importance and prediction methods for longitudinal problems with missing variables.

PloS one
We present prediction and variable importance (VIM) methods for longitudinal data sets containing continuous and binary exposures subject to missingness. We demonstrate the use of these methods for prognosis of medical outcomes of severe trauma patie...

Bridging a translational gap: using machine learning to improve the prediction of PTSD.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Predicting Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a pre-requisite for targeted prevention. Current research has identified group-level risk-indicators, many of which (e.g., head trauma, receiving opiates) concern but a subset of survivor...

Prediction of road traffic death rate using neural networks optimised by genetic algorithm.

International journal of injury control and safety promotion
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are realised as a main cause of public health problems at global, regional and national levels. Therefore, prediction of road traffic death rate will be helpful in its management. Based on this fact, we used an artificial...

Context-dependent effects of built environment factors on pedestrian-injury severities with imbalanced and high dimensional crash data.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Built environment is an important component that influences pedestrian injury severities in pedestrian-vehicle crashes. Previous studies indicated that the effects of various built environment factors on pedestrian injury severities are heterogeneous...
