Ceramides and Ceramide Scores: Clinical Applications for Cardiometabolic Risk Stratification
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Ceramides are bioactive lipids that have an important role in many cellular functions such as apoptosis and inflammation. During the past decade emerging clinical data have shown that ceramides are not only of great biochemical interest but may also have

Novel decision-theoretic and risk-stratification metrics of predictive performance: Application to deciding who should undergo genetic testing [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Currently, women are referred for BRCA1/2 mutation-testing only if their family-history of breast/ovarian cancer implies that their risk of carrying a mutation exceeds 10\%. However, as mutation-testing costs fall, prominent voices have called for testing all women, which would strain clinical resources by testing millions of women, almost all of whom ...

Transformer-based unsupervised patient representation learning based on medical claims for risk stratification and analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The claims data, containing medical codes, services information, and incurred expenditure, can be a good resource for estimating an individual's health condition and medical risk level. In this study, we developed Transformer-based Multimodal AutoEncoder (TMAE), an unsupervised learning framework that can learn efficient patient representation by ...

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]
, 2017 Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Stabilized Sparse Ordinal Regression for Medical Risk Stratification [PDF]
, 2014 The recent wide adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) presents great opportunities and challenges for data mining. The EMR data is largely temporal, often noisy, irregular and high dimensional. This paper constructs a novel ordinal regression framework for predicting medical risk stratification from EMR.

Risk stratification of older patients [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2002 Cardiovascular disease is a growing global health threat due in part to demographic shifts, in particular the growing elderly population in which cardiovascular disease is highly likely to develop. Older individuals have numerous coexisting conditions that contribute to increased risk for morbidity and mortality.

Epigenetics in diagnosis, prognostic assessment and treatment of cancer:An update [PDF]
, 2014 Cancer cells contain multiple genetic and epigenetic changes. The relative specificity of many epigenetic changes for neoplastic cells has allowed the identification of diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers for a number of solid tumors and ...
