A hierarchical expert-guided machine learning framework for clinical decision support systems: an application to traumatic brain injury prognostication

Abstract Prognosis of the long-term functional outcome of traumatic brain injury is essential for personalized management of that injury. Nonetheless, accurate prediction remains unavailable. Although machine learning has shown promise in many fields, including medical diagnosis and prognosis, such...
