We have developed a data-driven, algorithmic method for identifying patients in an out-patient buprenorphine program at high risk for relapse in the following seven days. This method uses data already available in clinical laboratory data, can be made available in a timely matter, and is easily understandable and actionable by clinicians. Use of this method could significantly reduce the rate of relapse in addiction treatment programs by targeting interventions at those patients most at risk for near term relapse.

Matching journals

The top 6 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
