A predictive analytics framework for identifying patients at risk of developing multiple medical complications caused by chronic diseases

作者:

Highlights:

• Patients with chronic diseases are often at risk for multiple correlated complications.

• Single-task learning predicts these complications but ignores their correlations.

• We use single- and multi-task learning with different predictive models.

• We compare prediction performance of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complications.

• We show multi-task learning implemented by logistic regression has the best performance.
