Reduced-dose deep learning iterative reconstruction for abdominal computed tomography with low tube voltage and tube current.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: The low tube-voltage technique (e.g., 80 kV) can efficiently reduce the radiation dose and increase the contrast enhancement of vascular and parenchymal structures in abdominal CT. However, a high tube current is always required in this s...

Combined inflammation-related biomarkers and clinicopathological features for the prognosis of stage II/III colorectal cancer by machine learning.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Inflammation-related biomarkers, such as systemic inflammation score (SIS) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), are associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. However, the combined role of SIS, NLR, and clinicopathological factors in ...

Clinical characteristics and prediction model of re-positive nucleic acid tests among Omicron infections by machine learning: a real-world study of 35,488 cases.

BMC infectious diseases
BACKGROUND: During the Omicron BA.2 variant outbreak in Shanghai, China, from April to May 2022, PCR nucleic acid test re-positivity (TR) occurred frequently, yet the risk factors and predictive models for TR remain unclear. This study aims to identi...

Using machine learning and natural language processing in triage for prediction of clinical disposition in the emergency department.

BMC emergency medicine
BACKGROUND: Accurate triage is required for efficient allocation of resources and to decrease patients' length of stay. Triage decisions are often subjective and vary by provider, leading to patients being over-triaged or under-triaged. This study de...

An explainable analysis of diabetes mellitus using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease prevalent worldwide, requiring a multifaceted analytical approach to improve early detection and subsequent mitigation of morbidity and mortality rates. This research aimed to develop an explain...

Predicting blood transfusion demand in intensive care patients after surgery by comparative analysis of temporally extended data selection.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Blood transfusion (BT) is a critical aspect of medical care for surgical patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Timely and accurate identification of BT needs can enhance patient outcomes and healthcare resource management.

A potential predictive model based on machine learning and CPD parameters in elderly patients with aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic neoplasms.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) have similar peripheral blood manifestations and are clinically characterized by reduced hematological triad. It is challenging to distinguish and diagnose these two diseases. Hence...

Machine learning models predict the progression of long-term renal insufficiency in patients with renal cancer after radical nephrectomy.

BMC nephrology
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common severe complication after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal cancer. The timely and accurate prediction of the long-term progression of renal function post-surgery is crucial for early inte...

MHAGuideNet: a 3D pre-trained guidance model for Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis using 2D multi-planar sMRI images.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's Disease is a neurodegenerative condition leading to irreversible and progressive brain damage, with possible features such as structural atrophy. Effective precision diagnosis is crucial for slowing disease progression and red...
