The national adoption of electronic health records (EHR) promises to make an unprecedented amount data available for clinical research, but the are complex, inaccurate, and frequently missing, record reflects complex processes aside from patient's physiological state. We believe that path forward requires studying EHR as object interest in itself, new models, learning data, collaboration will lead efficient use valuable information currently locked records.

Importance Sepsis is a leading cause of death among children worldwide. Current pediatric-specific criteria for sepsis were published in 2005 based on expert opinion. In 2016, the Third International Consensus Definitions and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3) defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection, but it excluded children. Objective To update evaluate septic shock Evidence Review The Society Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) convened task force 35...

Objective Seizures have been implicated as a cause of secondary brain injury, but the systemic and cerebral physiologic effects seizures after acute injury are poorly understood. Methods We analyzed intracortical electroencephalographic (EEG) multimodality physiological recordings in 48 comatose subarachnoid hemorrhage patients to better characterize response injury. Results Intracortical were seen 38% patients, 8% had surface seizures. accompanied by elevated heart rate ( p = 0.001), blood...

Nurses alter their monitoring behavior as a patient's clinical condition deteriorates, often detecting and documenting subtle changes before physiological trends are apparent. It was hypothesized that nurse's of recording optional documentation (beyond what is required) reflects concern about status mining data from patients' electronic health records for the presence these features could help predict mortality.Data-mining methods were used to analyze nursing 15-month period at large, urban...

Type 2 diabetes leads to premature death and reduced quality of life for 8% Americans. Nutrition management is critical maintaining glycemic control, yet it difficult achieve due the high individual differences in response nutrition. Anticipating impact different meals can be challenging not only individuals with diabetes, but also expert educators. Personalized computational models that accurately forecast an a given meal on individual's blood glucose levels serve as engine new generation...

Electronic health record (EHR) data show promise for deriving new ways of modeling human disease states. Although EHR researchers often use numerical values laboratory tests as features in models, a great deal information is contained the context within which test taken. For example, same value creatinine has different interpretation chronic kidney patient and with acute injury. We study whether research studies are subject to biased results interpretations if measurements taken contexts not...

Fields like nonlinear physics offer methods for analyzing time series, but many require that the series be stationary-no change in properties over time.Objective Medicine is far from stationary, challenge may able to ameliorated by reparameterizing because clinicians tend measure patients more frequently when they are ill and likely vary.We compared parameterizations, measuring variability of rate magnitude change, looking homogeneity bins temporal separation between pairs points. We studied...

Abstract Electronic health record phenotyping is the use of raw electronic data to assert characterizations about patients. Researchers have been doing it since beginning biomedical informatics, under different names. Phenotyping will benefit from an increasing focus on fidelity, both in sense richness, such as measured levels, degree or severity, timing, probability, conceptual relationships, and reducing bias. Research agendas should shift merely improving binary assignment studying richer...

Ventilator dyssynchrony may be associated with increased delivered tidal volumes (V t s) and dynamic transpulmonary pressure (ΔP L,dyn ), surrogate markers of lung stress strain, despite low V ventilation. However, it is unknown which types ventilator are most likely to increase these metrics or if specific ventilation sedation strategies can mitigate this potential.

Male were arrested as often or more than individuals population. No diagnosed schizophrenic crimes against persons; one-fourth among alcoholics such crimes. Arrest rates women seemed parallel those population, although sample was too small definite conclusions. significantly less following dischanrge before hospitalization.

The increasing availability of health data and knowledge about computationally modeling human physiology opens new opportunities for personalized predictions in health. Yet little is known how individuals interact reason with predictions. To explore these questions, we developed a smartphone app, GlucOracle, that uses self-tracking type 2 diabetes to generate forecasts post-meal blood glucose levels. We pilot-tested GlucOracle two populations: members an online community, knowledgeable...

Forecasting blood glucose (BG) levels with routinely collected data is useful for glycemic management. BG dynamics are nonlinear, complex, and nonstationary, which can be represented by nonlinear models. However, the sparsity of creates parameter identifiability issues when high-fidelity complex models used, thereby resulting in inaccurate forecasts. One use reduced physiological fidelity robust accurate estimation forecasting sparse data. For this purpose, we approximate regulation a linear...
