CRISP: A causal relationships-guided deep learning framework for advanced ICU mortality prediction.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Mortality prediction is critical in clinical care, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), where early identification of high-risk patients can inform treatment decisions. While deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated significant...

Comparative evaluation of artificial intelligence models GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 in clinical decision-making in sports surgery and physiotherapy: a cross-sectional study.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has rapidly expanded, particularly in clinical decision-making. Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 have shown potential in various medical applications, inc...

Towards interpretable sleep stage classification with a multi-stream fusion network.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Sleep stage classification is a significant measure in assessing sleep quality and diagnosing sleep disorders. Many researchers have investigated automatic sleep stage classification methods and achieved promising results. However, these methods igno...

Explainable AI for enhanced accuracy in malaria diagnosis using ensemble machine learning models.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Malaria, an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites belonging to the Plasmodium genus, remains a significant public health challenge, with African regions bearing the heaviest burden. Machine learning techniques have shown great ...

Predicting the efficacy of microwave ablation of benign thyroid nodules from ultrasound images using deep convolutional neural networks.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules are frequent in clinical settings, and their diagnosis in adults is growing, with some persons experiencing symptoms. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can shrink nodules and alleviate discomfort. Because the degree and r...

Development of machine learning models to predict the risk of fungal infection following flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: The flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (F-URL) is an important treatment for upper urinary tract stones. However, urolithiasis, surgical procedures, and catheter placement are risk factors for fungal infections. Our study aimed to construc...

MISTIC: a novel approach for metastasis classification in Italian electronic health records using transformers.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Analysis of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is crucial in real-world evidence (RWE), especially in oncology, as it provides valuable insights into the complex nature of the disease. The implementation of advanced techniques for automated...

Anesthesia depth prediction from drug infusion history using hybrid AI.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Accurately predicting the depth of anesthesia is essential for ensuring patient safety and optimizing surgical outcomes. Traditional regression-based approaches often struggle to model the complex and dynamic nature of patient responses t...

Detecting cognitive impairment in cerebrovascular disease using gait, dual tasks, and machine learning.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is common after a stroke, but it can often go undetected. In this study, we investigated whether using gait and dual tasks could help detect cognitive impairment after stroke.

A novel network-level fused deep learning architecture with shallow neural network classifier for gastrointestinal cancer classification from wireless capsule endoscopy images.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Deep learning has significantly contributed to medical imaging and computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), providing accurate disease classification and diagnosis. However, challenges such as inter- and intra-class similarities, class imbalance, and computat...
