INTRODUCTION: Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are critical for reducing maternal mortality and unintended pregnancies, yet adoption remains low in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to systemic inequities, cultural barriers, and fragmented he...
BACKGROUND: The multifactorial mechanisms driving childhood obesity, a global public health challenge, are yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to develop and externally validate three widely applied machine learning models alongside logistic regress...
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects a substantial portion of the global population and is linked to elevated mortality rates and a range of severe health complications. Despite its clinical importance, progress in diabetes research is often ...
UNLABELLED: Childhood obesity is the main driver of early metabolic risk, predisposing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), which cause millions of deaths worldwide. Their progression is influenced by biological, behavioral, and...
PURPOSE: Decision-making for orchiectomy following testicular torsion often relies on subjective clinical evaluations. This study investigates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) models in objectively predicting post-torsion testicular viability, a...
BACKGROUND: Psychiatric disorders are diagnostically challenging and often rely on subjective clinical judgment, particularly in resource-limited settings. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated potential in supporting psychiatric diagnosis; ...
INTRODUCTION: The substantial case detection gap in the field of child tuberculosis (TB) disease is largely driven by inadequate diagnostic tools and approaches. Chest radiographs (CXRs) remain a key component in the evaluation of children and young ...

PURPOSE: High-dose ifosfamide (HD-IFO) remains an effective regimen for advanced bone and soft tissue sarcomas, but predictors of long-term benefit are poorly defined. This study evaluated clinical outcomes and prognostic factors using machine learni...
BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients under general anesthesia are particularly vulnerable to hypoxemia, which can lead to rapid oxygen desaturation. This vulnerability necessitates heightened vigilance from anesthesiologists, making pediatric anesthesia ma...
BACKGROUND: Adolescent obesity remains a pressing public health challenge, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the promise for supporting students in managing daily health behaviors, but ...
