Non-obvious correlations to disease management unraveled by Bayesian artificial intelligence analyses of CMS data

作者:

Highlights:

• Data-driven Bayesian networks based analysis has been performed on health care data.

• Summarized, healthcare provider level data was used for this analysis.

• Novel hypothesis linking diagnosis codes was proposed based on findings from Bayesian networks approach.

• Potential mechanisms were explored to explain novel hypothesis.

• This paper demonstrates the ability of artificial intelligence methods to advance medical research.
