A Hybrid Decision Tree and Deep Learning Approach Combining Medical Imaging and Electronic Medical Records to Predict Intubation Among Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: Algorithm Development and Validation

A Hybrid Decision Tree and Deep Learning Approach Combining Medical Imaging and Electronic Medical Records to Predict Intubation Among Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: Algorithm Development and Validation

A new paper written by the Clinical Data Science team has been published in JMIR (https://formative.jmir.org/2023/1/e46905). Background: Early prediction of the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms can help in the allocation of resources appropriately and improve patient outcomes by appropriately monitoring and treating patients at the greatest risk of respiratory failure. To help with the complexity of deciding whether a patient needs...

Aggression Risk Score

Aggression Risk Score

The Aggression Risk Score is a prognostic tool used to identify patients with high risk of developing aggression episode during their hospital LOS, therefore helping to shift the practice towards preventive paradigms, improving patient safety, and minimizing cost of care. The project was deployed on February 2023 at Mount Sinai Hospital. Challenges Patient Aggression is one of the most complex and dangerous occupational hazards in healthcare environment Patents are subjected to more...

Delirium Risk Prediction (v1.1)

Delirium Risk Prediction (v1.1)

The Delirium Risk Prediction tool was developed to predict which patients who have not yet been discharged, might have a delirium episode. Delirium can be defined as a serious change in mental abilities. This project was deployed at The Mount Sinai Morningside in December 2022. Definition Confusion A mental and behavioral state 8 Reduced comprehension, coherence, and capacity to reason 8 Most common problem in medicine 8 Accounting for a large number of emergency visits, hospital admissions...
