Predicting the efficacy of microwave ablation of benign thyroid nodules from ultrasound images using deep convolutional neural networks.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules are frequent in clinical settings, and their diagnosis in adults is growing, with some persons experiencing symptoms. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can shrink nodules and alleviate discomfort. Because the degree and r...

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Machine Learning-Based eHealth System to Predict and Reduce Emergency Department Visits and Unscheduled Hospitalizations of Older People Living at Home: Retrospective Study.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Dependent older people or those losing their autonomy are at risk of emergency hospitalization. Digital systems that monitor health remotely could be useful in reducing these visits by detecting worsening health conditions earlier. Howeve...

Comparing large scale and selected feature learning for community acquired pneumonia prognosis prediction using clinical data: a stacked ensemble approach.

Scientific reports
This study investigated and validated all-cause in-hospital death prediction models for hospitalized pneumonia patients based on large-scale clinical data, including diagnoses, medication prescriptions, and laboratory test codes. Feature selection wa...

Machine learning approach for the prediction of 30-day mortality in patients with sepsis-associated delirium.

PloS one
This study aimed to develop models for predicting the 30-day mortality of sepsis-associated delirium (SAD) by multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms. On the whole, a cohort of 3,197 SAD patients were collected from the Medical Information Mart for...

Establishing a Validation Framework of Treatment Discontinuation in Claims Data Using Natural Language Processing and Electronic Health Records.

Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics
Measuring medication discontinuation in claims data primarily relies on the gaps between prescription fills, but such definitions are rarely validated. This study aimed to establish a natural language processing (NLP)-based validation framework to ev...

Risk prediction for acute kidney disease and adverse outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an interpretable machine learning approach.

Renal failure
BACKGROUND: Little is known about acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD mortality based on the acute/subacute renal injury. This study develops machine learning...

A neural network approach to glomerular filtration rate estimation: a single-centre retrospective audit.

Nuclear medicine communications
OBJECTIVES: The 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation without race correction factor is frequently used for an estimate of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and to support a single-sample GFR regime. This study exa...

Validation of body composition parameters extracted via deep learning-based segmentation from routine computed tomographies.

Scientific reports
Sarcopenia and body composition metrics are strongly associated with patient outcomes. In this study, we developed and validated a flexible, open-access pipeline integrating available deep learning-based segmentation models with pre- and postprocessi...
