Predicting rehospitalization within 2 years of initial patient admission for a major depressive episode: a multimodal machine learning approach.

ABSTRACT: Machine learning methods show promise to translate univariate biomarker findings into clinically useful multivariate decision support systems. At current, works in major depressive disorder have predominantly focused on neuroimaging and clinical predictor modalities, with genetic, blood-biomarker, and cardiovascular modalities lacking. In addition, the prediction of rehospitalization after an initial inpatient major depressive episode is yet to be explored, despite its clinical importance. To address this gap in the literature, we have used baseline clinical, structural imaging, blood-biomarker, genetic (polygenic risk scores), bioelectrical impedance and electrocardiography predictors to predict rehospitalization within 2 years of an initial inpatient episode of major depression.
