BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) systems in health care have the potential to enhance decision-making but often fail to address critical issues such as prediction explainability, confidence, and robustness in a context-based and easily interpretable...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a stratified screening tool through machine learning approaches for the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-20) while maintaining diagnostic accuracy, addressing the efficiency limitations in large-scale app...
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a critical life support technology for severely ill patients. Despite its benefits, patients face high costs and significant mortality risks. To improve clinical decision-making, this stu...
INTRODUCTION: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) mortality rates and global warming have been in the focus of scientists and policymakers in the past decade. The long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, commonly referred to as ...
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a mosquito-borne neglected tropical disease that causes disfiguring of the affected extremities, often leading to permanent disability and stigma. Described as a disease of poverty, the impact of socioeconomic indicators ...

BACKGROUND: Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a first-line transmission-based precaution for reducing the spread of nosocomial infections between health care workers (HCWs), patients, and staff. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a problematic sk...
: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer in women, accounting for more than 30% of new female cancers each year. Although various treatments are available for BC, most cancer-related deaths are due to incurable metastases. Therefore, th...
BACKGROUND: Pressure injuries (PIs) pose a negative health impact and a substantial economic burden on patients and society. Accurate staging is crucial for treating PIs. Owing to the diversity in the clinical manifestations of PIs and the lack of ob...
