Machine Learning to Identify Dialysis Patients at High Death Risk

Given the high mortality rate within the first year of dialysis initiation, an accurate estimation of postdialysis mortality could help patients and clinicians in decision making about initiation of dialysis. We aimed to use machine learning (ML) by incorporating complex information from electronic health records to predict patients at risk for postdialysis short-term mortality.This study was carried out on a contemporary cohort of 27,615 US...
