Identification of patients' smoking status using an explainable AI approach: a Danish electronic health records case study.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Smoking is a critical risk factor responsible for over eight million annual deaths worldwide. It is essential to obtain information on smoking habits to advance research and implement preventive measures such as screening of high-risk ind...

Leveraging machine learning for predicting acute graft-versus-host disease grades in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia.

BMC medical research methodology
Orphan diseases, exemplified by T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, present inherent challenges due to limited data availability and complexities in effective care. This study delves into harnessing the potential of machine learning to enhance care strat...

Machine learning models for abstract screening task - A systematic literature review application for health economics and outcome research.

BMC medical research methodology
OBJECTIVE: Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are critical for life-science research. However, the manual selection and retrieval of relevant publications can be a time-consuming process. This study aims to (1) develop two disease-specific annotate...

Arrhythmia detection by the graph convolution network and a proposed structure for communication between cardiac leads.

BMC medical research methodology
One of the most common causes of death worldwide is heart disease, including arrhythmia. Today, sciences such as artificial intelligence and medical statistics are looking for methods and models for correct and automatic diagnosis of cardiac arrhythm...

GADNN: a revolutionary hybrid deep learning neural network for age and sex determination utilizing cone beam computed tomography images of maxillary and frontal sinuses.

BMC medical research methodology
INTRODUCTION: The determination of identity factors such as age and sex has gained significance in both criminal and civil cases. Paranasal sinuses like frontal and maxillary sinuses, are resistant to trauma and can aid profiling. We developed a deep...

The endorsement of general and artificial intelligence reporting guidelines in radiological journals: a meta-research study.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Complete reporting is essential for clinical research. However, the endorsement of reporting guidelines in radiological journals is still unclear. Further, as a field extensively utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), the adoption of bot...

Attention-based neural networks for clinical prediction modelling on electronic health records.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Deep learning models have had a lot of success in various fields. However, on structured data they have struggled. Here we apply four state-of-the-art supervised deep learning models using the attention mechanism and compare against logis...

Application of machine learning in predicting survival outcomes involving real-world data: a scoping review.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Despite the interest in machine learning (ML) algorithms for analyzing real-world data (RWD) in healthcare, the use of ML in predicting time-to-event data, a common scenario in clinical practice, is less explored. ML models are capable of...

Bayesian parametric models for survival prediction in medical applications.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Evidence-based treatment decisions in medicine are made founded on population-level evidence obtained during randomized clinical trials. In an era of personalized medicine, these decisions should be based on the predicted benefit of a tre...

An improved multiply robust estimator for the average treatment effect.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: In observational studies, double robust or multiply robust (MR) approaches provide more protection from model misspecification than the inverse probability weighting and g-computation for estimating the average treatment effect (ATE). How...
