Bone injures (BI) represents one of the major health problems, together with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Assessment of the risks associated with BI is nontrivial since fragility of human cortical bone is varying with age. Due to restrictions ...
BACKGROUND: Predicting death in a cohort of clinically diverse, multicondition hospitalized patients is difficult. Prognostic models that use electronic medical record (EMR) data to determine 1-year death risk can improve end-of-life planning and ris...
BACKGROUND: As a high-prevalence health condition, hypertension is clinically costly, difficult to manage, and often leads to severe and life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke.
