该项目提出了一个关于唐氏综合症患者的综合临床研究项目，使用数据科学方法和几个非常大的临床记录数据集，如IBM沃森健康市场扫描、医疗保险、医疗补助和瑞典国家登记处。具体来说，该项目将进行探索性分析，以确定唐氏综合症患者的亚型和其他合并症以及这些群体在非常大的数据集中的患病率，开发唐氏综合症不同亚型患者的生活轨迹和未来健康轨迹的预测模型，并在较小的，由Advocate Lutheran总医院（拥有美国最大的唐氏综合症诊所之一）编制的更深入、更丰富的唐氏综合症数据集。

This project proposes a comprehensive clinical research project about individuals with Down Syndrome using data science approaches and several very large datasets with clinical records, such as IBM Watson Health MarketScan, Medicare, Medicaid, and Swedish National Registries. Specifically this project will conduct exploratory analyses to identify subtypes of people with Down Syndrome and other co-morbidities and the prevalence of these groups in the very large datasets, develop a predictive model of the life trajectories and future health trajectories of people in the different sub-types of Down Syndrome, and validate these predictive models in the smaller, deeper and richer Down Syndrome dataset compiled by Advocate Lutheran General Hospital (with one of the largest Down Syndrome clinics in the US).
