Risk prediction in surgery using case-based reasoning and agent-based modelization

Abstract

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

How to Improve Hospital Flows in the Context of the COVID Pandemic

“…These methods are also used for the same reasons in the frame of healthcare. For instance, Case-based reasoning (CBR) and multi-agent systems concepts are exploited in [5] for predicting risk in surgery in a non-determinist context. Case-based reasoning process is described as a cycle of four processes: Retrieve the most similar cases, Reuse the cases for solving a new problem, Revise the proposed solution, and Retain the new solution as a new case [6,7].…”

“…For instance, MAS could be used for solving problems such as the ecological and epidemiological analysis of infectious diseases [8]. In this kind of combination MAS could generate risk situation that will be compared to old cases by the CBR system for solving problems [5]. This hybrid system philosophy is also adapted for solving hospital logistics flow problems.…”

Towards a Principle-Based Approach for Case-Based Reasoning

“…This form of reasoning has been used in the literature for solving various practical problems including some in the medical (e.g. [10,13,14]) and legal (e.g. [2][3][4]15]) domains.…”
