Literature Summaries
Predicting Opioid Overdose Readmission and Opioid Use Disorder with Machine Learning
Objectives
- Use multiple machine learning models and multiple data types to predict the likelihood of hospital readmission following an opioid overdose and diagnosis of opioid use disorder after being prescribed an opioid
Useful Info
- AUC value is a rate of correct prediction
- Hospital info is meant to be anonymized, patient identifiers must be removed
- T40 codes are used as identifiers of various conditions including Covid and OUD
