The growth of arthroplasty procedures requires innovative strategies to reduce inpatients' hospital length of stay (LOS). This study aims to develop a machine learning prediction model that may aid in predicting LOS after hip or knee arthroplasties. A collection of all the clinical notes of patients who underwent elective primary or revision arthroplasty from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 was performed.

Background: Comorbidities are common in chronic inflammatory conditions, requiring multidisciplinary treatment approach. Understanding the link between a single disease and its comorbidities is important for appropriate treatment and management. We evaluate the ability of an NLP-based process for knowledge discovery to detect information about pathologies, patients' phenotype, doctors' prescriptions and commonalities in electronic medical records, by extracting information from free narrative text written by clinicians during medical visits, resulting in the extraction of valuable information and enriching real world evidence data from a multidisciplinary setting.

Introduction: Identifying SARS-CoV-2 patients at higher risk of mortality is crucial in the management of a pandemic. Artificial intelligence techniques allow one to analyze large amounts of data to find hidden patterns. We aimed to develop and validate a mortality score at admission for COVID-19 based on high-level machine learning.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the impact of chronic use of antihypertensive medications (ACE inhibitors and ARBs) and cardiovascular comorbidities on mortality rates in COVID-19 patients.
  • Results indicated that chronic use of ACE inhibitors may reduce mortality risk, while ARBs showed no significant effect.
  • Importantly, older age and cardiovascular issues were significant risk factors, and timely treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin was found to be protective against mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
