Prediction models using artificial intelligence and longitudinal data from electronic health records: a systematic methodological review.

Objective: To describe and appraise the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques that can cope with longitudinal data from electronic health records (EHRs) to predict health-related outcomes.

Methods: This review included studies in any language that: EHR was at least one of the data sources, collected longitudinal data, used an AI technique capable of handling longitudinal data, and predicted any health-related outcomes. We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplorer from inception to January 3, 2022.

Polypharmacy Patterns in Multimorbid Older People with Cardiovascular Disease: Longitudinal Study.

(1) Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is associated with high mortality, especially in older people. This study aimed to characterize the evolution of combined multimorbidity and polypharmacy patterns in older people with different cardiovascular disease profiles. (2) Material and methods: This longitudinal study drew data from the Information System for Research in Primary Care in people aged 65 to 99 years with profiles of cardiovascular multimorbidity.
