Domain generalization for enhanced predictions of hospital readmission on unseen domains among patients with diabetes.

A prediction model to assess the risk of hospital readmission can be valuable to identify patients who may benefit from extra care. Developing hospital-specific readmission risk prediction models using local data is not feasible for many institutions. Models developed on data from one hospital may not generalize well to another hospital.

Deep Learning vs Traditional Models for Predicting Hospital Readmission among Patients with Diabetes.

A hospital readmission risk prediction tool for patients with diabetes based on electronic health record (EHR) data is needed. The optimal modeling approach, however, is unclear. In 2,836,569 encounters of 36,641 diabetes patients, deep learning (DL) long short-term memory (LSTM) models predicting unplanned, all-cause, 30-day readmission were developed and compared to several traditional models.

Predicting complications of diabetes mellitus using advanced machine learning algorithms.

Objective: We sought to predict if patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) would develop 10 selected complications. Accurate prediction of complications could help with more targeted measures that would prevent or slow down their development.

Materials And Methods: Experiments were conducted on the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases of California for the period of 2003 to 2011.
