Advancing heart failure research using machine learning
MA Mohammad, The Lancet Digital Health, June 2023

Machine learning has demonstrated significant potential in various medical research fields and has the potential to uncover intricate associations and the ability to identify subtypes of heart failure beyond those that are currently recognised, improve risk prediction, and ultimately pave the way for personalised medicine.

De-black-boxing health AI: demonstrating reproducible machine learning computable phenotypes using the N3C-RECOVER Long COVID model in the All of Us data repository.
Emily R Pfaff et al. J Am Med Inform Assoc 2023 5

As part of the NIH Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative, researchers with the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) devised and trained an ML-based phenotype to identify patients highly probable to have Long COVID. Supported by RECOVER, N3C and NIH's All of Us study partnered to reproduce the output of N3C's trained model in the All of Us data enclave, demonstrating model extensibility in multiple environments

Translating predictive analytics for public health practice: A case study of overdose prevention in Rhode Island.
Bennett Allen et al. Am J Epidemiol 2023 5

Prior applications of machine learning to population health have relied on conventional model assessment criteria, limiting the utility of models as decision supports for public health practitioners. To facilitate practitioner use of machine learning as decision support for area-level intervention, this study developed and applied four practice-based predictive model evaluation criteria (implementation capacity, preventive potential, health equity, and jurisdictional practicalities). We used a case study of overdose prevention in Rhode Island to illustrate how these criteria could inform public health practice and health equity promotion.

Machine learning for diagnosis of myocardial infarction using cardiac troponin concentrations.
Dimitrios Doudesis et al. Nat Med 2023 5

Although guidelines recommend fixed cardiac troponin thresholds for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, troponin concentrations are influenced by age, sex, comorbidities and time from symptom onset. To improve diagnosis, we developed machine learning models that integrate cardiac troponin concentrations at presentation or on serial testing with clinical features and compute the Collaboration for the Diagnosis and Evaluation of Acute Coronary Syndrome (CoDE-ACS) score (0–100) that corresponds to an individual’s probability of myocardial infarction.
