The interaction network and potential clinical effectiveness of dimensional psychopathology phenotyping based on EMR: a Bayesian network approach by Jianqing Qiu, Ting Zhu, Ke Qin, Wei Zhang

“…Lastly, using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, we demonstrated that AS was significantly associated with the length of hospital stay (-0.21, p < 0.05) and 30-day readmission risk (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91–0.99) to some extent. In conclusion, we suggest that the eRDoC characteristics varied in different DSM. …”
