Predicting early psychiatric readmission among people with major depressive disorder: A machine learning analysis from the prospective multicentre DEEP READ study
Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with high relapse rates, with around 20% of inpatients experiencing readmission within 90 days after discharge. Routinely collected clinical information may help identify individuals at higher risk of readmission. Machine learning (ML) models could complement more traditional statistical approaches by exploring complex relationships among multiple vulnerability factors. Methods The DEEP READ study is a prospective, multicentre cohort study conducted across…
A Random Forest trained on 22 routine clinical variables predicted unplanned 90-day psychiatric readmission in adults with MDD with moderate discrimination.
The model showed variable cross-validation performance down to 0.59 AUC and is not validated for clinical implementation without further calibration and utility assessment.
Model was only internally evaluated with stratified 5-fold cross-validation and lacks external validation, calibration assessment, and demonstrated clinical utility.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1096 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
