A dynamic prediction engine to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting

作者:

Highlights:

• We described a single framework that can perform prediction query without losing the sensitivity to each context (i.e., combination of phases and emetogenicity levels).

• The system discovers how the patient-related variables and the emetogenicity of chemotherapy are associated with the risk of CINV for each phase.

• The prediction performance of the system outperformed many popular prediction methods.

• A real clinical problem was addressed so that the gap between clinical practices and evidence-based guidelines are shortened.

• The approach proposed in this project can be adapted for any other clinical predictions.
