Forecasting the number of hospitalization patients is important for hospital management. The number of hospitalization patients depends on three types of patients, namely, admission patients, discharged patients, and inpatients. However, previous works focused on one type of patients rather than the three types of patients together. In this paper, we propose a multi-task forecasting model to forecast the three types of patients simultaneously. We integrate three neural network modules into a unified model for forecasting. Besides, we extract date features of admission and discharged patient flows to improve forecasting accuracy. The algorithm is trained and evaluated on a real-world data set of a one-year daily observation of patient numbers in a hospital. We compare the performance of our model with eight baselines over two real-word data sets. The experimental results show that our approach outperforms other baseline algorithms significantly.

Developing a computational method for recognizing preterm delivery is important for timely diagnosis and treatment of preterm delivery. The main aim of this study was to evaluate electrohysterogram (EHG) signals recorded at different gestational weeks for recognizing the preterm delivery using random forest (RF). EHG signals from 300 pregnant women were divided into two groups depending on when the signals were recorded: i) preterm and term delivery with EHG recorded before the 26th week of gestation (denoted by PE and TE group), and ii) preterm and term delivery with EHG recorded during or after the 26th week of gestation (denoted by PL and TL group). 31 linear features and nonlinear features were derived from each EHG signal, and then compared comprehensively within PE and TE group, and PL and TL group. After employing the adaptive synthetic sampling approach and six-fold cross-validation, the accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) were applied to evaluate RF classification. For PL and TL group, RF achieved the ACC of 0.93, sensitivity of 0.89, specificity of 0.97, and AUC of 0.80. Similarly, their corresponding values were 0.92, 0.88, 0.96 and 0.88 for PE and TE group, indicating that RF could be used to recognize preterm delivery effectively with EHG signals recorded before the 26th week of gestation.

The aims of this study were to apply decision tree to classify uterine activities (contractions and non-contractions) using the waveform characteristics derived from different channels of electrohysterogram (EHG) signals and then rank the importance of these characteristics. Both the tocodynamometer (TOCO) and 8-channel EHG signals were simultaneously recorded from 34 healthy pregnant women within 24 h before delivery. After preprocessing of EHG signals, EHG segments corresponding to the uterine contractions and non-contractions were manually extracted from both original and normalized EHG signals according to the TOCO signals and the human marks. 24 waveform characteristics of the EHG segments were derived separately from each channel to train the decision tree and classify the uterine activities. The results showed the Power and sample entropy (SamEn) extracted from the unnormalized EHG segments played the most important roles in recognizing uterine activities. In addition, the EHG signal characteristics from channel 1 produced better classification results (AUC = 0.75, Sensitivity = 0.84, Specificity = 0.78, Accuracy = 0.81) than the others. In conclusion, decision tree could be used to classify the uterine activities, and the Power and SamEn of un-normalized EHG segments were the most important characteristics in uterine contraction classification.
