The increasing incidence of dengue virus (DENV) infections poses significant public health challenges in Bangladesh, demanding advanced forecasting methodologies to guide timely interventions. This study introduces a rigorous multivariate time series...
INTRODUCTION: Pneumonia is the leading cause of child morbidity and mortality and accounts for 5.6 million under-five child deaths. Pneumonia has a significant impact on the quality of life, the country's economy, and the survival of children. Theref...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to construct interpretable machine learning models to predict the risk of developing delirium in patients with sepsis and to explore the impact of delirium on the 28-day survival rate of patients.
INTRODUCTION: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by widespread inflammatory response syndrome in the body resulting from infection. Previous studies have demonstrated that some inflammatory factors or nutritional elements contribute...
OBJECTIVE: To develop an interpretable machine learning (ML) model for predicting severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP) in order to provide reliable factors for predicting the clinical type of the disease.
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe complication associated with a high mortality rate in patients with sepsis. Early identification of patients with sepsis at high risk of developing ARDS is crucial for timely interven...
BACKGROUND: Several studies explored factors related to adverse clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients but lacked analysis of the impact of the temporal data shifts on the strength of association between different predictors and adverse outcomes. ...
BACKGROUND: Remdesivir (RDV) was the first antiviral approved for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and for those patients at risk for progression to severe disease after clinical trials supported its association with improved outcomes. Real-world evidence (...
PURPOSE: This study aims to identify and rank the key risk factors associated with the Zika virus by leveraging a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework based on type-2 heptagonal fuzzy sets. By integrating advanced aggregation operato...
BACKGROUND: Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Even though vaccination has reduced the incidence, cases have resurfaced in certain regions due to immune escape and waning vaccine efficacy. Identifying high-risk patients to mitigate...
