some unique results: 1) Sub-models separately trained on ED and ward patients perform better in these groups than a base model trained and applied to all patients combined; 2) Sepsis-3 criteria performs poorly as the reference label; 3) A methodology has been developed that can assist clinicians

Abstract: "Sepsis remains a potentially lethal but highly treatable condition that affects about up to 1 in 10 hospital admissions. We have developed and validated, in a prospective silent trial, an AI-enabled sepsis risk prediction algorithm trained on more than 700,000 admissions to 7 digital

My talk will update Eddy’s analysis of cervical cancer screening. This disease once was a major cause of death in women. Introduction of the Pap smear greatly reduced the likelihood a woman would die from cervical cancer. However, the initial cervical cancer screening protocols, based on

to observe the effects of cancer screening protocols on patient outcomes would require follow-up studies lasting longer than the useful lifetime of the screening technology. This meant Eddy’s work addressed an important question that could not be answered by other means.

Abstract: "In the late 1970s David Eddy demonstrated how mathematics could predict the effects changes to cancer screening protocols would have on patient outcomes. Ideally the questions Eddy addressed would have been answered using randomized clinical trials. However, the time scale needed
