• Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a risk for patients and a burden for the healthcare system. However, AMR assays typically take several days. This study develops predictive models for AMR based on easily available clinical and microbiological predictors, including patient demographics, hospital stay data, diagnoses, clinical features, and microbiological/antimicrobial characteristics and compares those models to a naive antibiogram based model using only microbiological/antimicrobial characteristics. The ability to predict the resistance accurately prior to culturing could inform clinical decision-making and shorten time to action. The machine learning algorithms employed here show improved classification performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.88-0.89) versus the naive model (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.86) for 6 organisms and 10 antibiotics using the Philips eICU Research Institute (eRI) database. This method can help guide antimicrobial treatment, with the objective of improving patient outcomes and reducing the usage of unnecessary or ineffective antibiotics.

  Clinical trials are critical for drug development but often suffer from expensive and inefficient patient recruitment.

• Prediction of drug effectiveness in rheumatoid arthritis patients based on machine learning algorithms [2.5759046095742453]
  Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition caused when patients' immune system mistakenly targets their own tissue. Machine learning (ML) has the potential to identify patterns in patient electronic health records to forecast the best clinical treatment to improve patient outcomes. This study introduced a Drug Response Prediction (TNF) framework with two main goals: 1) design a data processing pipeline to extract information from clinical data, and then preprocess it for functional use, and 2) predict RA patient's responses to drugs and evaluate classification models' performance.

  We develop a machine learning model of mortality prediction and ITE estimation for patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) First, we use propensity score matching to emulate the trial and create a treatment randomized (vancomycin vs. other antibiotics) dataset. Next, we use this data to train various machine learning methods (including boosted/LASSO logistic regression, support vector machines, and random forest) and choose the best model in terms of area under the receiver characteristic (AUC) through bootstrap validation.
