Talk
Improving Health and Economic Outcomes with AI
Structured data in the EHRs of 2806 patients who received a total of 17,513 chemotherapy treatments was aggregated and de-identified to develop a predictive algorithm for risk of chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenia. Linear, tree-based or ensemble methods were developed and a model to optimize clinical and financial outcomes using only 20 clinical features was identified.
