Abstract Improving health literacy through health information dissemination is one of the most economical and effective mechanisms for improving population health. This process needs to fully accommodate the thematic suitability of health information supply and demand and reduce the impact of information overload and supply–demand mismatch on the enthusiasm of health information acquisition. We propose a health information topic modeling analysis framework that integrates deep learning methods and clustering techniques to model the supply‐side and demand‐side topics of health information and to quantify the thematic alignment of supply and demand. To validate the effectiveness of the framework, we have conducted an empirical analysis on a dataset with 90,418 pieces of textual data from two prominent social networking platforms. The results show that the supply of health information in general has not yet met the demand, the demand for health information has not yet been met to a considerable extent, especially for disease‐related topics, and there is clear inconsistency between the supply and demand sides for the same health topics. Public health policy‐making departments and content producers can adjust their information selection and dissemination strategies according to the distribution of identified health topics, thereby improving the effectiveness of public health information dissemination.

Abstract Compared to patients readmitted to general wards, readmitted patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are exposed to higher mortality rates and prolonged hospital stays. Moreover, the readmission of ICU patients brings pressing challenges for ICU management. Most models are devoted to identifying the risk factors and developing classification models that can predict whether ICU patients will be readmitted. Though these models are prominent, they do not provide estimates for the frequency of readmissions. This paper establishes a prediction model, hybrid feature selection‐LightGBM (HFS‐LightGBM), to evaluate the probability and frequency of ICU patient readmissions empirically. In terms of feature selection, a hybrid feature selection (HFS) algorithm for LightGBM combines the filter and wrapper methods. Pearson's correlation coefficient is employed in the filter procedure. Then we adopt the targeted LightGBM classifier along with the recursive feature elimination and cross‐validated (RFECV) to produce the optimal feature subset. Additionally, the hyperparameters of the HFS‐LightGBM are optimized. The HFS‐LightGBM is employed on the real‐world ICU dataset containing 1722 patients' electronic health records. This model outperforms the current prevailing readmission models. The identified frequency can assist doctors in making specific interventions for patients to reduce the ICU readmission rate.
