Predicting Patient State-of-Health using Sliding Window and Recurrent Classifiers [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Bedside monitors in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) frequently sound incorrectly, slowing response times and desensitising nurses to alarms (Chambrin, 2001), causing true alarms to be missed (Hug et al., 2011). We compare sliding window predictors with recurrent predictors to classify patient state-of-health from ICU multivariate time series; we report ...

Individual and collective transitions: Changes in family information networks over time in life with chronic illness

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic illness represents a transition for both patients and their family members although transitions and information behavior changes have largely been explored from an individual perspective. Illness‐related transitions may be undertaken individually or collectively, but little is known about how family information networks change in the ...

A Flexible Mixed Integer Programming framework for Nurse Scheduling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
In this paper, a nurse-scheduling model is developed using mixed integer programming model. It is deployed to a general care ward to replace and automate the current manual approach for scheduling. The developed model differs from other similar studies in that it optimizes both hospitals requirement as well as nurse preferences by allowing flexibility ...

Missed Early Intervention Opportunities for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early intervention (EI) is essential for improving developmental outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, participation during the critical neurodevelopmental (0–3 years) period remains a challenge. To identify those factors associated with the participation of preschool children with ASD in EI before age 2, this ...

A Greedy Double Swap Heuristic for Nurse Scheduling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
One of the key challenges of nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is the number of constraints placed on preparing the timetable, both from the regulatory requirements as well as the patients' demand for the appropriate nursing care specialists. In addition, the preferences of the nursing staffs related to their work schedules add another dimension of ...

Little Motion, Big Results: Using Motion Magnification to Reveal Subtle Tremors in Infants [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the First International AAI4H - Advances in Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare Workshop co-located with the 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020), 2020
Detecting tremors is challenging for both humans and machines. Infants exposed to opioids during pregnancy often show signs and symptoms of withdrawal after birth, which are easy to miss with the human eye. The constellation of clinical features, termed as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), include tremors, seizures, irritability, etc.

Understanding factors that influence the drug choice of prescribers: A Q‐methodology study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Therapeutic decision‐making often involves weighing several treatment options on the basis of, among other things, the disease profile, patient characteristics but also prescriber‐specific factors. This study investigated the factors influencing therapeutic decision‐making among prescribers and explores how these factors differ ...

The mortality for the implantable cardiac defibrillator in nonischemic cardiomyopathy: An updated systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1163-1170, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) is common for the management of nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Mortality is a crucial issue for patients with NICM. We can understand the mortality events of ICD versus medicine treatment via a systemic review and meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials.
