Developing Clinical Risk Prediction Models for Worsening Heart Failure Events and Death by Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Background There is a need to develop electronic health record–based predictive models for worsening heart failure (WHF) events across clinical settings and across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods and Resul...

Prediction of emergency department revisits among child and youth mental health outpatients using deep learning techniques

Abstract Background The proportion of Canadian youth seeking mental health support from an emergency department (ED) has risen in recent years. As EDs typically address urgent mental health crises, revisiting an ED may represent unmet menta...

Machine learning for real-time aggregated prediction of hospital admission for emergency patients

Abstract Machine learning for hospital operations is under-studied. We present a prediction pipeline that uses live electronic health-records for patients in a UK teaching hospital’s emergency department (ED) to generate short-term, probabi...

Using generalized random forests to characterize vulnerability to adverse health outcomes following wildfire smoke exposure in California

Background: As the health burden attributable to wildfire activity increases under climate change, it is crucial to determine which subgroups face heightened vulnerability to wildfire smoke. Marginalized communities may experience dispropor...
