• Authors: Sandhya Tripathi, Bradley A Fritz, Michael S Avidan, Yixin Chen, and Christopher R King
• Abstract summary: We present some initial experimental evidence showing how sociodemographic features such as sex and race can impact the model performance across subgroups. Our intent is to initiate a discussion about the intersectionality effects of old age, race and socioeconomic factors on the early-stage detection and prevention of delirium using ML.

• Abstract: Although prediction models for delirium, a commonly occurring condition during general hospitalization or post-surgery, have not gained huge popularity, their algorithmic bias evaluation is crucial due to the existing association between social determinants of health and delirium risk. In this context, using MIMIC-III and another academic hospital dataset, we present some initial experimental evidence showing how sociodemographic features such as sex and race can impact the model performance across subgroups. With this work, our intent is to initiate a discussion about the intersectionality effects of old age, race and socioeconomic factors on the early-stage detection and prevention of delirium using ML.

• General targeted machine learning for modern causal mediation analysis [3.813608775141218]
  Causal mediation analyses investigate the mechanisms through which causes exert their effects. We show that the identification formulas for six popular non-parametric approaches to mediation analysis can be recovered from just two statistical estimands. We propose an all-purpose one-step estimation algorithm that can be coupled with machine learning in any mediation study.

Here, we introduce novel estimation strategies for the front-door criterion based on the targeted minimum loss-based estimation theory. We demonstrate the applicability of these estimators to analyze the effect of early stage academic performance on future yearly income.

  Much attention has been raised recently about bias and the use of machine learning algorithms in healthcare. This paper highlights the importance of centering the discussion of data and healthcare on people and their experiences with healthcare and science. Collective memory of community trauma, through deaths attributed to poor healthcare, and negative experiences with healthcare are endogenous drivers of seeking treatment and experiencing effective care.

  We propose a joint model of intervention policy and adverse event risk as a means to explicitly communicate the model's assumptions about future interventions. We show how combining typical risk scores, such as the likelihood of mortality, with future intervention probability scores leads to more interpretable clinical predictions.
