Modifiable Risk Factors and Explainable Machine Learning Model for Predicting Hospitalization Outcomes in Geriatric Patients with Dementia

Geriatric patients with dementia incur higher healthcare costs and longer hospital stays than other geriatric patients. There is an urgent need to identify modifiable risk factors and develop predictive models for hospitalization outcomes in order to mitigate risks early on during hospitalization, thus improving outcomes and the quality of life in these patients.
