Predicting the hospitalization burdens of patients with mental disease: a multiple model comparison.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Mental disorders represent a growing public health challenge, with rising hospitalization rates worldwide. Despite their significant impact, systematic investigations into the hospitalization burden (HB) of mental disorders remain notably lacking in current studies. Objective: This study aims to employ machine learning (ML) techniques to predict the HB among patients with mental disorders. By doing so, we seek to optimize the allocation of medical resources and enhance the efficiency of healthcare services for this specific population. Methods: Historical hospitalization data were collected, encompassing patient demographics, diagnostic details, length of stay, costs, and other relevant information. The data were then cleaned to remove missing values and outliers, and key features related to the HB were extracted. A statistical analysis of the basic characteristics of the HB was conducted. Subsequently, prediction models for the HB were developed based on the historical data and identified key features, including time series models and regression models. The predictive ability of these models was evaluated by comparing the actual values with the predicted values. Results: HB was influenced by diagnosis, age, and seasonality, with schizophrenia (A3) and personality disorders (A7) incurring the highest burdens. ML models demonstrated task-specific efficacy: ridge regression for hospitalization frequency, long short-term memory/categorical boosting regression for length of stay, and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average with exogenous regressors/light gradient boosting machine regression for hospitalization costs. The findings support tailored resource allocation and early intervention for high-risk groups. Conclusion: This study showcased the effectiveness of machine learning methods in predicting the hospitalization burden of inpatients with mental disorders, thereby offering scientific decision support for medical institutions. This approach contributes to enhancing the quality of patient care and optimizing the efficiency of medical resource utilization.
