To reduce the risk of WNV, public health agencies distribute information about how to avoid mosquito bites and use insecticides to reduce the abundances of disease-transmitting mosquitoes. Information about when and where the risk of getting WNV is highest would help these agencies to target their activities and use limited resources more efficiently. To support this goal, we developed the ArboMAP software system for predicting the risk of WNV disease in humans. ArboMAP uses information about recent weather combined with data obtained from trapping mosquitoes and testing them for presence of WNV to predict how many human cases that will occur in future weeks. Predictions extend throughout the current WNV season (typically May-September) and are made for each county within a state. The system is implemented as a set of free software tools that can be used by epidemiologists in state and municipal departments of health. Feedback from public health agencies in South Dakota, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Michigan has been incorporated to enhance the usability of the system and design visualizations that summarize the forecasts.\u0000","PeriodicalId":36278,"journal":{"name":"JAMIA Open","volume":"136 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138953349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods Data for adult postoperative admissions to the Loyola University Medical Center (2009-2017) were used for model development and admissions to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2009-2020) were used for validation. Structured features included demographics, vital signs, laboratory results, and nurse-documented scores. Unstructured text from clinical notes were converted into concept unique identifiers (CUIs) using the clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System. The primary outcome was the development of Kidney Disease Improvement Global Outcomes stage 2 AKI within 7 days after leaving the operating room. We derived unimodal extreme gradient boosting machines (XGBoost) and elastic net logistic regression (GLMNET) models using structured-only data and multimodal models combining structured data with CUI features.
