Researchers Use Data Tools to Rapidly Detect Sepsis in Sick Newborns

Automated programs can identify which sick infants in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) have sepsis hours before clinicians recognize the life-threatening condition. A team of data researchers and physician-scientists tested machine-learning models in a NICU population, drawing only on routinely collected data available in electronic health records (EHRs).

Informatics Driven Clinical Genomics: Q&A With Mahdi Sarmady, PhD

With high-throughput sequencing methods continuously yielding floods of new information, how can clinicians keep up with updated data for patients who have already received genetic test results?
