Artificial neural network medical decision support tool predicting transfusion requirements of ER patients.

Artificial neural network medical decision support tool predicting transfusion requirements of ER patients.

Blood product transfusion is a financial concern for hospitals and patients. Efficient utilization of this dwindling resource is a critical problem if hospitals are to maximize patient care while minimizing costs. Traditional statistical models do not perform well in this domain. An additional conce...
