BACKGROUND: Chronic bronchitis (CB), as a core precursor of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), is crucial for global disease burden prevention and control. Although the association between heavy metal exposure and respiratory damage has be...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pulmonary infection (POI) is strongly associated with a poor prognosis and has a high incidence in elderly patients undergoing major surgery. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are increasingly being used in medicine, but the ...
BACKGROUND: In hospitalized patients, inadequate antibiotic dosage leading to bacterial resistance and increased antimicrobial use intensity due to overexposure to antibiotics are common problems. In the present study, we constructed a machine learni...
BACKGROUND: Identification of distinct clinical phenotypes of diseases can guide personalized treatment. This study aimed to classify hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia subgroups using an unsupervised machine learning approach.
PURPOSE: Currently, deep learning methods for the classification of benign and malignant lung nodules encounter challenges encompassing intricate and unstable algorithmic models, limited data adaptability, and an abundance of model parameters.To tack...
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe lung condition, and finding better ways to diagnose and treat the disease is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Our study sought to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model for ...
BACKGROUND: Society is burdened with stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) complicates clinical manifestations of stroke. In this study, we redefined the CSVD burden score and in...
AIM: To develop a decision-support tool for predicting extubation failure (EF) in neonates with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) using a set of machine-learning algorithms.
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent and debilitating respiratory condition that imposes a significant healthcare burden worldwide. Accurate staging of COPD severity is crucial for patient management and treatment p...
BACKGROUND: Mortality prediction in interstitial lung disease (ILD) poses a significant challenge to clinicians due to heterogeneity across disease subtypes. Currently, forced vital capacity (FVC) and Gender, Age, and Physiology (GAP) score are the t...
