Brain age (BA), distinct from chronological age (CA), can be estimated from MRIs to evaluate neuroanatomic aging in cognitively normal (CN) individuals. BA, however, is a cross-sectional measure that summarizes cumulative neuroanatomic aging since bi...
Dementia rates are projected to increase significantly by 2050, posing considerable challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Developing efficient diagnostic tools is critical, and machine learning (ML) algorithms have shown potential for improvin...

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of current tools for predicting adverse events in older inpatients with possible sarcopenia is still insufficient to develop individualized nutrition-related management strategies. The objectives were to develop a machine lea...
This study compares the efficacy of machine learning models to traditional biophysical models in predicting rectal (T) and skin (T) temperatures of older adults (≥60 years) during prolonged heat exposure. Five machine learning models were trained on ...
BACKGROUND: The stroke risk in patients with subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is underestimated. By identifying patients at high risk of embolic stroke, health-care professionals can make more informed decisions regarding anticoagulation treatmen...
: Early safety outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis are critical for patient prognosis. Accurate prediction of adverse events can enhance patient management and improve outcomes. : This study ai...
Rapid and accurate identification of high-risk acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) patients is essential. We developed two machine-learning (ML) models to calculate the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients admitted due to overt GIB. We analyze...
