A machine learning approach to predicting short-term mortality risk in patients starting chemotherapy

2017-10-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Cancer patients who die soon after starting chemotherapy incur costs of treatment without benefits. Accurately predicting mortality risk from chemotherapy is important, but few patient data-driven tools exist. We sought to create and validate a machine learning model predicting mortality for patients starting new chemotherapy. <h4>Methods</h4> We obtained electronic health...
