Machine learning-based algorithms applied to drug prescriptions and other healthcare services in the Sicilian claims database to identify acromegaly as a model for the earlier diagnosis of rare diseases
Abstract Acromegaly is a rare disease characterized by a diagnostic delay ranging from 5 to 10 years from the symptoms’ onset. The aim of this study was to develop and internally validate machine-learning algorithms to identify a combination of variables for the early diagnosis of acromegaly. This r...
