• Abstract: Pain in sickle cell disease (SCD) is often associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and high healthcare costs. The standard method for predicting the absence, presence, and intensity of pain has long been self-report. However, medical providers struggle to manage patients based on subjective pain reports correctly and pain medications often lead to further difficulties in patient communication as they may cause sedation and sleepiness. Recent studies have shown that objective physiological measures can predict subjective self-reported pain scores for inpatient visits using machine learning (ML) techniques. In this study, we evaluate the generalizability of ML techniques to data collected from 50 patients over an extended period across three types of hospital visits (i.e., inpatient, outpatient and outpatient evaluation). We compare five classification algorithms for various pain intensity levels at both intra-individual (within each patient) and inter-individual (between patients) level. While all the tested classifiers perform much better than chance, a Decision Tree (DT) model performs best at predicting pain on an 11-point severity scale (from 0-10) with an accuracy of 0.728 at an inter-individual level and 0.653 at an intra-individual level. The accuracy of DT significantly improves to 0.941 on a 2-point rating scale (i.e., no/mild pain: 0-5, severe pain: 6-10) at an intra-individual level. Our experimental results demonstrate that ML techniques can provide an objective and quantitative evaluation of pain intensity levels for all three types of hospital visits.

  Deep learning models show promise in extracting meaningful patterns, but they require extensive labeled data. We propose a novel approach employing self-supervised pretraining, focusing on the alignment of clinical measurements and notes. In downstream tasks, including in-hospital mortality prediction and phenotyping, our model outperforms baselines in settings where only a fraction of the data is labeled.

  It is crucial to forecast future patient pain trajectories to help patients manage their Sickle Cell Disease. It is challenging to obtain many pain records to design forecasting models since it is mainly recorded by patients' self-report. We propose a self-supervised learning approach for clustering time-series data, where each cluster comprises patients who share similar future pain profiles.

Using static images and multi-modal data to predict self-reported pain levels, early models show significant gaps between current methods available to predict pain.

The models trained on multiple datasets and evaluated on a test set from one of the datasets used for training performed better.

  Early recognition of clinical deterioration is one of the main steps for reducing inpatient morbidity and mortality.

With the application of machine learning, the system is capable to consider all patient's history and through the use of high-performing predictive models, an intelligent early warning system is enabled.

• CT-based COVID-19 Triage: Deep Multitask Learning Improves Joint Identification and Severity Quantification [45.86448200141968]
  We describe two basic setups: Identification of COVID-19 to prioritize studies of potentially infected patients to isolate them as early as possible; Severity quantification to highlight studies of severe patients and direct them to a hospital or provide emergency medical care. We propose a multitask approach to consolidate both triage approaches and propose a convolutional neural network to combine all available labels within a single model. We train our model on approximately 2000 publicly available CT studies and test it with a carefully designed set consisting of 32 COVID-19 studies, 30 cases with bacterial pneumonia, 31 healthy patients, and 30 patients with other lung pathologies to emulate a typical patient flow in
