Abstract: Artificial Intelligence And Disparities In Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Care: Predictive Model Performance Varies By Age And Sex

Authors: Diana Ferro, David D. Williams, Susana R. Patton, Ryan McDonough, Mark A. Clements We can use predictive models to intensify care among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are predicted to experience a rise in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), yet little is known about the impact of age and sex on the performance of […]

Abstract: Comparative performance of a recurrent neural network (RNN) and logistic regression (LR) model to predict diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) among youth with established type 1 diabetes (T1D)

Authors: David D. Williams, Sarina Dass, Jon Bass, Susana Patton, Sanjeev Mehta, Ryan McDonough, Colin Mullaney, Leonard D’Avolio, Mark Clements Preventing dangerous and costly episodes of DKA is a goal of diabetes care, but clinicians lack tools to predict DKA events. We sought to compare performance characteristics of an RNN model with that of a […]
Remote Patient Monitoring

Youth in the United States collectively exhibit deterioration in glycemic control between the ages of 8 and 18, with small improvements beginning to show from ages 18 to 30. Evidence suggests that suboptimal control early in the course of disease has an irrevocable impact on the risk of developing future health complications. To combat this […]
