This study aims to compare the diagnostic abilities of humans in wound image assessment with those of an AI-based model, examine how "expertise" affects clinicians' diagnostic performance, and investigate the heterogeneity in clinical judgments.

This paper presents the results from a competition challenging participants to develop entity linking models using a subset of annotated MIMIC-IV-Note data and the SNOMED CT Terminology.

Infections following healthcare-associated interventions drive patient morbidity and mortality, making early detection essential. Traditional predictive models utilize preoperative surgical characteristics. This study evaluated whether integrating postoperative laboratory values and their kinetics could improve outcome prediction.

Systematic reviews in comparative effectiveness research require timely evidence synthesis. With the rapid advancement of medical research, preprint articles play an increasingly important role in accelerating knowledge dissemination. However, as preprint articles are not peer-reviewed before publication, their quality varies significantly, posing challenges for evidence inclusion in systematic reviews.

Clinician implicit bias can impede patient-centered communication, leading to health care inequities. While the field of implicit bias education is evolving with advances in technology, clinicians' perspectives remain underexplored. This study investigated clinicians' perceptions of educational strategies to complement communication feedback technology in the implementation of an implicit bias education intervention.

We discuss challenges using computational modeling approaches for personalized prediction in clinical practice to predict treatment response for rare diseases treated by novel therapies using clinical oncology as an example context. Several challenges are discussed, including data scarcity, data sparsity, and difficulties in establishing interdisciplinary teams. Machine learning (ML), mechanistic modeling (MM), and hybrid modeling (HM) are discussed in the context of these challenges.

Pediatric hospital readmissions increase healthcare costs and highlight gaps in care. Social determinants of health (SDOH), such as housing and transportation insecurity, significantly impact outcomes but are underexplored in pediatric populations.

Accurately measuring patient similarity is essential for precision medicine, enabling personalized predictive modeling, disease subtyping, and individualized treatment by identifying patients with similar characteristics to an index patient. This study aims to develop an electronic health record-based patient similarity estimation framework to enhance personalized predictive modeling for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a complex and life-threatening condition where accurate prediction is critical for timely intervention.

To improve prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models applied to integrated clinical and claims data with varying observation windows, supported by explainable artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance interpretability and reduce bias.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of using a large language model (LLM) for generating draft responses to patient messages in the electronic health record (EHR) system on clinicians and support staff workload and efficiency.We partnered with Epic Systems to implement OpenAI's ChatGPT 4.0 for responding to patient messages. A pilot study was conducted from August 2023 to July 2024 across 13 ambulatory specialties involving 323 participants, including clinicians [...]
