Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare pulmonary vascular condition that can be mistaken for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and they are believed to have different genetic causes.
- This report details a case of a woman diagnosed with PAH at 42, who unfortunately passed away despite treatment, and her son, who was diagnosed with PAH at 16 and required a heart-lung transplant due to worsening conditions.
- The autopsy of the mother showed evidence consistent with PAH, while the son's lung pathology confirmed PVOD, and neither had identifiable genetic mutations linked to these diseases.
Study Objective: To use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict billing code levels for emergency department (ED) encounters.
Methods: We accessed ED encounters from our health system from January to September 2023. We developed an ensemble model using natural language processing and machine learning techniques to predict billing codes from clinical notes combined with clinical characteristics and orders.
