@article { orvium-670614aa0fe3ae0c1b5bdbd3, title = "Machine Learning Approach to Extract Diagnostic and Prognostic Thresholds: Application in Prognosis of CardiovascularMortality", abstract = "Machine learning has become a powerful tool for analysing medical domains, assessing the importance of clinical parameters, and extracting medical knowledge for outcomes research. In this paper, we present a machine learning method for extracting diagnostic and prognostic thresholds, based on a symbolic classification algorithm called REMED.We evaluated the performance of our method by determining new prognostic thresholds for well-known and potential cardiovascular risk factors that are used to support medical decisions in the prognosis of fatal cardiovascular diseases. Our approach predicted 36% of cardiovascular deaths with 80% specificity and 75% general accuracy. The new method provides an innovative approach that might be useful to support decisions about medical diagnoses and prognoses.", keywords = "Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Cardiovascular Disease", author = "Luis J.
