Causal phenotyping for susceptibility to cardiotoxicity from antineoplastic breast cancer medications.
Cardiotoxicity is a relatively common and particularly important adverse event caused by chemotherapy for breast cancer patients. The authors of this study propose three phenotyping algorithms to assess breast cancer patients' susceptibility to cardiotoxicity caused by five first-line antineoplastic drugs. The study demonstrates the potential utility of causal phenotyping.

Phenotyping and visualizing infusion-related reactions for breast cancer patients.
Researchers developed and evaluated a phenotyping algorithm to detect Infusion-related reactions (IRRs) for breast cancer patients. They also designed a visualization prototype to render IRR patients' medications, lab tests and vital signs over time. By comparing with the 42 randomly selected doses that are manually labeled by a domain expert, the sensitivity, positive predictive value, specificity, and negative predictive value of the algorithms are 69 percent, 60 percent, 79 percent, and 85 percent, respectively.
