Comparing methods for handling missing data in electronic health records for dynamic risk prediction of central-line associated bloodstream infection

Shan Gao, Elena Albu, Pieter Stijnen +6

Electronic health records (EHR) often contain varying levels of missing data. This study compared different imputation strategies to identify the most suitable approach for predict…

missForestPredict -- Missing data imputation for prediction settings

Elena Albu, Shan Gao, Laure Wynants +1

Prediction models are used to predict an outcome based on input variables. Missing data in input variables often occurs at model development and at prediction time. The missForestP…

Comparison of static and dynamic random forests models for EHR data in the presence of competing risks: predicting central line-associated bloodstream infection

Elena Albu, Shan Gao, Pieter Stijnen +6

Prognostic outcomes related to hospital admissions typically do not suffer from censoring, and can be modeled either categorically or as time-to-event. Competing events are common…

A comparison of regression models for static and dynamic prediction of a prognostic outcome during admission in electronic health care records

Shan Gao, Elena Albu, Hein Putter +7

Objective Hospitals register information in the electronic health records (EHR) continuously until discharge or death. As such, there is no censoring for in-hospital outcomes. We a…
