Abstract
Machine learning modeling using clinical data has
emerged as an important research topic in recent years. Many
stakeholders could benefit from drawing meaningful insights
from patient data by means of support for the clinical personnel
in disease management and for patients in coping with their
disease. This work presents a machine learning framework
for the prediction of exacerbation events and quality of life
related scores. The underlying dataset contains clinical and self-
reported real-world data from patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease. The resulting machine learning models
have a reliable performance while model explanations provide
interesting clinical conclusions
