JOINT PREDICTION OF ONSET CHRONIC CONDITIONS

Chronic conditions can be costly but also preventable as well as predictable. We develop a model to predict in the short term (2-3 years) the onset of one or more chronic conditions. Five chronic conditions are considered: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Predictions are made on the basis of standard demographic/socio-economic variables, risk

PREDICTING CHRONIC DISEASES FROM HEALTHCARE DATA-A FRAMEWORK BASED ON GRAPH THEORY AND SOCIAL NETWORK MEASURES

The study illustrates a framework to predict the progression of chronic diseases from a new perspective using graph theory and social network analysis methods. The framework utilizes large and untapped longitudinal administrative data sets that contain ICD-10-AM disease codes that describe the principal and secondary diagnosis recorded during hospital admissions. The primary focus of the

JOINT PREDICTION OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS ONSET: COMPARING MULTIVARIATE PROBITS WITH MULTICLASS SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINES

We consider the problem of building accurate models that can predict, in the short term (2-3 years), the onset of one or more specific chronic conditions at individual level. Methods: We consider 5 chronic conditions: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension and cancer and build two different models that predict all possible combinations of these conditions. Covariates
