Predicting Long-Term Mortality with Biomarkers Level for Homecare Patients

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2018:250:269.

Abstract

Electronic health record (EHR) systems have been used widely in research. However, most of the EHRs are highly dimensional and it is challenging to analyze such large data set. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary science with a focus on data management and interpretation for complex biological phenomena. We investigated biomarkers of nutrition from 3001 patients. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios of mortality were calculated according to both albumin and sodium levels. We explore the association of aging predicted by all-cause mortality in future.
