Adaptive index models for marker-based risk stratification.
We use the term "index predictor" to denote a score that consists of K binary rules such as "age > 60" or "blood pressure > 120 mm Hg." The index predictor is the sum of these binary scores, yielding a value from 0 to K. Such indices as often used in clinical studies to stratify population risk: They are usually derived from subject area considerations. In this paper, we propose a fast data-dri...
متن کاملCardiac surgery risk-stratification models
Risk models are widely used to predict outcomes after cardiac surgery. Not only is risk modelling applied in the assessment of the relative impact of specific risk factors on surgical outcomes, but also in patient counselling, the selection of treatment options, comparison of postoperative results, and quality-improvement programmes. At least 19 risk-stratification models exist for open-heart s...
متن کاملRapid risk stratification for obstructive sleep apnea, based on snoring severity and body mass index.
OBJECTIVE It is unclear whether all snoring patients require polysomnography, and there are no highly sensitive clinical predictors of sleep apnea. Our objective was to develop a simple clinical screening test for OSA in snoring patients. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, IRB-approved study at a university sleep disorders center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In 211 patients undergoing polysomnography, snor...
متن کاملLearning Data-Driven Patient Risk Stratification Models for Clostridium difficile
BACKGROUND Although many risk factors are well known, Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) continues to be a significant problem throughout the world. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a data-driven, hospital-specific risk stratification procedure for estimating the probability that an inpatient will test positive for C difficile. METHODS We consider electronic medical re...
متن کاملHostile Abdomen Index Risk Stratification and Laparoscopic Complications
BACKGROUND Common life-threatening complications associated with laparoscopy, including bleeding and inadvertent enterotomy, are described in the literature. We investigated the application of the Hostile Abdomen Index related to these complications. We hypothesize that the preoperative score may guide a surgeon in risk stratification. METHODS We used data from Monmouth Medical Center morbidi...
