September 2021 • Yinghao Pan, Eric B. Laber, Maureen A. Smith, Ying‐Qi Zhao
Uncontrolled glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are associated with adverse events among complex diabetic patients. These adverse events present serious health risks to affected patients and are associated with significant financial costs. Thus, a high-quality predictive model that could identify high-risk patients so as to inform preventative treatment has the potential to improve patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs. Because the biomarker information needed to predict risk is costly and burdensome, i…
