Multiscale modeling of comorbidity relations in hypertensive outpatients

Bayesian networks in healthcare: Distribution by medical condition

“…Common to many was the authors' use of electronic patient data as the primary source for elements of BN structure and observations necessary for prediction. This, while simultaneously admonishing the poor quality they observed of most available electronic health record (EHR) data and the limitations that arose from this quality issue [25][26][27]. Proposed approaches ranged from models for classifying the diagnosis [28] or severity [29] of a patient's condition, to prediction of risk for acute clinical events [25] and the likely progression of the individual's disease [26].…”

“…Proposed approaches ranged from models for classifying the diagnosis [28] or severity [29] of a patient's condition, to prediction of risk for acute clinical events [25] and the likely progression of the individual's disease [26]. It was not unusual for cardiac BNs to incorporate known comorbidities and validate their interaction with the patient's cardiac condition [26,27].…”
