  • The Average Effect of Emergency Department Admission on Readmission and Mortality for Older Adults With Chest Pain

    Sebastian Alejandro Alvarez Avendano, Amy L Cochran et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2020References: 51

    BACKGROUND: Many older adults (65+) present to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain, but do not have otherwise clear clinical indication of whether they should be admitted or discharged. This uncertainty leads to decisions that are highly variable-in addition to already being costly-which could have adverse consequences, since older adults are particularly vulnerable from hospitalization. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to det…

  • Training and Interpreting Machine Learning Algorithms to Evaluate Fall Risk After Emergency Department Visits

    Brian W Patterson, Collin J Engstrom et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019References: 38

    BACKGROUND: Machine learning is increasingly used for risk stratification in health care. Achieving accurate predictive models do not improve outcomes if they cannot be translated into efficacious intervention. Here we examine the potential utility of automated risk stratification and referral intervention to screen older adults for fall risk after emergency department (ED) visits. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated several machine learning methodol…
