Mashup Score: 9Using Machine Learning to Predict Unplanned Hospital Utilization and Chemotherapy Management From Patient-Reported Outcome Measures - 10 day(s) ago
PURPOSE Adverse effects of chemotherapy often require hospital admissions or treatment management. Identifying factors contributing to unplanned hospital utilization may improve health care quality and patients’ well-being. This study aimed to assess if patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) improve performance of machine learning (ML) models predicting hospital admissions, triage events (contacting helpline or attending hospital), and changes to chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical trial data were used and contained responses to three PROMs (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire [QLQ-C30], EuroQol Five-Dimensional Visual Analogue Scale [EQ-5D], and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General [FACT-G]) and clinical information on 508 participants undergoing chemotherapy. Six feature sets (with following variables: [1] all available; [2] clinical; [3] PROMs; [4] clinical and QLQ-C30; [5] clinical and EQ-5D; [6] clini

Mashup Score: 2The GMC’s future vision for medical training must be challenged - 1 month(s) ago
On 12 March the General Medical Council (GMC) published Our Vision for the Future of Medical Education and Training .1 This was accompanied by an explanatory blog from Colin Melville,2 the GMC’s medical director and director of education and standards, in which he queried whether the current system of undergraduate and postgraduate medical training was “fit for purpose” and suggested that “medical education needs transformation.” An enthusiastic and uncritical endorsement was published the next day by the three Royal Colleges of Physicians of London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.3 Readers might wonder why this “vision” is even worthy of comment. But, as with so many policy documents that pass by the attention of jobbing clinicians busy with patient care, both the policy statement and the accompanying blog bear further scrutiny. The GMC outlines changes in three key areas of undergraduate and postgraduate training: Superficially, this all seems completely reasonable. The teaching of doctors h
