Machine learning prediction of dropping out of outpatients with alcohol use disorders.

<h4>Background</h4>Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic disease with a higher recurrence rate than that of other mental illnesses. Moreover, it requires continuous outpatient treatment for the patient to maintain abstinence. However, with a low probability of these patients to continu...

We implemented six ML models-logistic regression, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, neural network, and AdaBoost-and compared the prediction performances thereof.<h4>Results</h4>Among the six models, AdaBoost was selected as the final model for recommended use owing to its area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.72. The four variables affecting the prediction based on feature importance were the length of hospitalization, age, residential area, and diabetes.<h4>Conclusion</h4>An ML algorithm was developed herein to predict the risk of patients with AUD in Korea discontinuing outpatient treatment. By testing and validating various machine learning models, we determined the best performing model, AdaBoost, as the final model for recommended use. Using this model, clinicians can manage patients with high risks of discontinuing treatment and establish patient-specific treatment strategies. Therefore, our model can potentially enable patients with AUD to successfully complete their treatments by identifying them before they can drop out.So Jin ParkSun Jung LeeHyungMin KimJae Kwon KimJi-Won ChunSoo-Jung LeeHae Kook LeeDai Jin KimIn Young ChoiPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 8, p e0255626 (2021)
