The Risks and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Endocrinology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the promise of addressing many of the numerous challenges healthcare faces, which include a growing burden of illness, an increase in chronic health conditions and disabilities due to aging and epidemiological changes, higher demand for health services, overworked and burned-out clinicians, greater societal expectations, and rising health expenditures. While tech...

Machine learning to understand risks for severe COVID-19 outcomes: a retrospective cohort study of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, immunomodulatory medications, and comorbidities in a large US health-care system.

BACKGROUND: In the context of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), COVID-19 outcomes are incompletely understood and vary considerably depending on the patient population studied. We aimed to analyse severe COVID-19 outcomes and to investigate the effects of the pandemic time period and the risks associated with individual IMIDs, classes of immunomodulatory medications (IMMs), chronic co...
