Researchers have developed new machine learning algorithms to directly optimize interpretable point-based clinical risk scores. This method uses a flexible greedy optimization strategy to learn integer-weighted scores, which are more practical for clinical use than traditional additive rules. The approach was applied to a large electronic health record cohort to create a comorbidity score for post-discharge mortality risk. AI
