A Random Forest trained on 22 routine clinical variables predicted unplanned 90-day psychiatric readmission in adults with MDD with moderate discrimination.
The DEEP READ prospective study across 13 Italian provinces followed 322 adults with major depressive disorder discharged from inpatient care and tested whether routinely collected clinical information could predict unplanned psychiatric readmission within 90 days. A Random Forest classifier trained on 22 predictors achieved a mean test AUC of 0.74 in internal cross-validation, with 50 patients (15.5%) readmitted.
