Abstract

BACKGROUND: Classification of the etiologies of pleural effusion is a critical challenge in clinical practice. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on a simple cut-off method based on the laboratory tests. However, machine learning (ML) offers a novel approach based on artificial intelligence to improving diagnostic accuracy and capture the non-linear relationships.
