Predicting Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis or Axial Spondyloarthritis: An Artificial Intelligence-Driven Approach.

OBJECTIVE: To develop machine learning (ML) models to predict the probability at baseline of achieving low disease activity (LDA) and high health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) treated with secukinumab (SEC). METHODS: AQUILA is an ongoing multicenter, prospective, noninterventional study assessing the effectiveness and ...

3D CSFA-UNet: a unified attention-driven deep learning framework for accurate knee MRI segmentation and osteoarthritis severity classification.

Although several recent multi-task deep learning methods already perform segmentation and classification jointly, many still face limitations in clinical applicability such as restricted multi-scale context modeling, insufficient attention to clinically relevant spatial-channel cues, or heavy computational cost that hinders deployment. Building on these advances, we propose a unified, multi-stage ...
