Interpretable machine learning-based decision support for prediction of antibiotic resistance for complicated urinary tract infections

Abstract Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide; however, increasing antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens is making it challenging for clinicians to correctly prescribe patients appropriate antibiotics. In this study, we present four interpretable machine learning-based decision support algorithms for predicting antimicrobial resistance. Using electronic health record data from a […]

Markers of intestinal mucositis to predict blood stream infections at the onset of fever during treatment for childhood acute leukemia
