Introduction Overall performance of machine learning-based prediction models is promising; however, their generalizability and fairness must be vigorously investigated to ensure they perform sufficiently well for all patients. Objective This study aimed evaluate bias in learning used predicting acute postoperative pain. Method We conducted a retrospective review electronic health records patients undergoing orthopedic surgery from June 1, 2011, 30, 2019, at the University Florida Health...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to develop a natural language processing algorithm (NLP) using machine learning (ML) techniques identify and classify documentation of preoperative cannabis use status. Materials Methods We developed applied keyword search strategy status in clinical within 60 days surgery. manually reviewed matching notes each into 8 different categories based on context, time, certainty documentation. 2 conventional ML 3 deep models against manual annotation. externally...
Cannabis use is increasing among older adults, but its impact on postoperative pain outcomes remains unclear in this population. We examined the association between cannabis and levels opioid doses within 24 hours of surgery.
Cannabis use is associated with higher intravenous anesthetic administration. Similar data regarding inhalational anesthetics are limited. With rising cannabis prevalence, understanding any potential relationship dosing crucial. Average intraoperative isoflurane or sevoflurane minimum alveolar concentration equivalents between older adults and without were compared.
Therapeutic and recreational marijuana use are common among people living with HIV (PLWH). However, the distinction between perceived "therapeutic" "recreational" is blurred, little information about specific reasons for effectiveness in adults chronic conditions. We aimed to compare reason-specific therapeutic users PLWH. In 2018-2019, 213 PLWH currently using (mean age 48 years, 59% male, 69% African American) completed a questionnaire assessing their marijuana, including "main reason."...
Background: Little is known about the clinical training or practice experiences among physicians who certify patients for medical marijuana. The objective of this study was to determine information sources, factors influencing recommendations, practices in patient assessment, communications, and priority areas additional Methods: A cross-sectional state-wide anonymous survey registered marijuana Florida between June October 2020 administered. Numerical responses were quantified using counts...
Significant knowledge gaps regarding the effectiveness and safety of medical cannabis (MC) create clinical challenges for MC physicians, making treatment recommendations patients choosing among growing number options offered in dispensaries. Additionally, data describing characteristics people who use products doses they receive are lacking. The Medical Marijuana Me (M3) Study was designed to collect patient-centered from users. We aim describe preferred patterns that report as "most...
The Consortium for Medical Marijuana Clinical Outcomes Research, a multi-university collaboration established by the state of Florida in USA, hosted its third annual Cannabis Research Conference (CCORC) May 2023. CCORC was held as hybrid conference, with scientific program consisting in-person sessions, some sessions livestreamed to virtual attendees. facilitated and promoted up-to-date research on clinical effects medical cannabis, fostering active involvement among scientists,...
Background Direct biomarkers such as phosphatidylethanol (PEth) have the capability to detect heavy alcohol use, but it is unclear how strongly self‐reported reduction in use correlates with PEth. We sought explore strength of correlation between reductions and change PEth among a sample women living HIV (WLWH) who participated clinical trial reduce use. also determine whether this was stronger lower body mass index (BMI) without an disorder (AUD). Methods 81 WLWH (mean age = 48.7, 80%...
This study aimed to develop a natural language processing algorithm (NLP) using machine learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques identify classify documentation of suicidal behaviors in patients with Alzheimer's disease related dementia (ADRD). We utilized MIMIC-III MIMIC-IV datasets identified ADRD subsequently those suicide ideation relevant International Classification Diseases (ICD) codes. used cosine similarity ScAN (Suicide Attempt Ideation Events Dataset) calculate semantic...
Introduction: Medical cannabis (MC) is available upon certification for one of several qualifying conditions in Florida, USA. Previous studies suggested that some people seek medical conditions/symptoms beyond those legally permitted. Yet, data remains limited on patient motives seeking MC and their experiences around its impact health. We aimed to compare reported with the most frequently self-reported reasons using while assessing alignment between two understand perceived impacts...
Background Racial disparities in COVID-19 incidence and outcomes have been widely reported. Non-Hispanic Black patients endured worse disproportionately compared with non-Hispanic White patients, but the epidemiological basis for these observations was complex multifaceted. Objective This study aimed to elucidate potential reasons behind of experienced by how variables interact using an explainable machine learning approach. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we examined 28,943...
Florida's medical cannabis (marijuana) program is among the largest in United States. Smokable forms were not legally available this until 2019, and five years after other of available. This study assessed changes Δ-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) dispensed per patient following legalization smokable Florida.
The Consortium for Medical Marijuana Clinical Outcomes Research, a multi-university collaboration established by the state of Florida in USA, hosted its second annual Cannabis Research Conference (CCORC) May 2022. CCORC was held as hybrid conference, with scientific program consisting in-person and virtual sessions. fostered disseminated current research on clinical outcomes medical marijuana while stimulating engagement between community, policymakers, industry representatives, clinicians,...
