Abstract

Campylobacter infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in human beings. Most cases of Campylobacter infection are not well explained by commonly recognised risk factors. Data-driven clinical rules offer patients an unprecedented measure of control over their own health information. This study sought to identify influential predictors from general practice (GP) data to predict the outcomes of Campylobacter infections—ie, being admitted to hospital or remaining with GP care.
