Machine learning achieves promising performance in early diagnosis of rare diseases

Delays in the diagnosis of rare genetic conditions such as acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) highlight the necessity for diagnostic algorithms to help clinicians identify patients at high risk of such diseases. To address this, electronic health records (EHRs) and machine learning (ML) were used to develop an ASMD diagnostic algorithm, which achieved promising results. In […]
Tailored diagnostic decision tree resulting from machine learning to improve early diagnosis of ASMD

Event: WORLDSymposium 2024 San Diego, USA Authors: M. Domenica Cappellini, R. Giugliani, M. Törnqvist, P. Guilmin, C.Clémente, M. Montmerle, A. Chiorean, T. Reppelin, Stefaan Sansen, Alexandra Dumitriu, Neha Shah, Maja Gasparic View Poster Abstract Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare and debilitating lysosomal storage disease and delays in diagnosis are common. We employed machine learning (ML) on electronic health […]
A machine learning algorithm to identify persons at risk of Gaucher disease using EHR in the United States
Gaucher disease is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) which mainly leads to hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, bone lesions/symptoms, and neurological impairment. Its progressive clinical manifestations are often highly debilitating, shorten lifespans and are considerably variable.

Machine Learning (ML) applied to real-world data to guide prescription of immune-therapies in metastatic melanoma: a pilot study

Event: ISPOR Global 2023, Boston, MA, USA Authors: F. Gwadry-Sridhar, Billy Amzal View Poster Objectives: Newly diagnosed metastatic melanoma patients are often treated with molecular targeted therapy (TT) or with immunotherapy (IO). However, only a limited proportion of patients respond to those therapies, resulting in reduced survival and substantial inefficiencies for health systems. The purpose […]
