This work introduces a predictive Length of Stay (LOS) framework for lung cancer patients using machine learning (ML) models. The framework proposed to deal with imbalanced datasets for classification-based approaches using electronic healthcare records (EHR). We have utilized supervised ML methods to predict lung cancer inpatients LOS during ICU hospitalization using the MIMIC-III dataset.

COVID-19 as a global pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the entire world. Projecting the future spread of the virus in relation to its characteristics for a specific suite of countries against a temporal trend can provide public health guidance to governments and organizations. Therefore, this paper presented an epidemiological comparison of the traditional SEIR model with an extended and modified version of the same model by splitting the infected compartment into asymptomatic mild and symptomatic severe.

Predicting Cardiovascular Length of stay based hospitalization at the time of patients' admitting to the coronary care unit (CCU) or (cardiac intensive care units CICU) is deemed as a challenging task to hospital management systems globally. Recently, few studies examined the length of stay (LOS) predictive analytics for cardiovascular inpatients in ICU. However, there are almost scarcely real attempts utilized machine learning models to predict the likelihood of heart failure patients length of stay in ICU hospitalization.
