PURPOSE: It is vital to appropriately power clinical trials towards discovery of novel disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, it is critical to improve prediction of outcome in PD patients.
OBJECTIVE: We aim to characterise persistent high utilisers (PHUs) of healthcare services, and correspondingly, transient high utilisers (THUs) and non-high utilisers (non-HUs) for comparison, to facilitate stratifying HUs for targeted intervention. ...
OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonia improves motor symptoms and quality of life. Traditionally, pallidal borders have been demarcated by electr...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pelvic floor disorders are common among and disproportionately affect older women. There are limited data regarding perioperative adverse events in older women undergoing robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) specifically....
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to establish and validate an artificial intelligence-based radiomics strategy for predicting personalized responses of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) session by quantitatively analy...
OBJECTIVES: To perform test-retest reproducibility analyses for deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm (DLAD) using two stationary chest radiographs (CRs) with short-term intervals, to analyze influential factors on test-retest variations,...
OBJECTIVE: CT is the mainstay imaging modality for assessing change in ventricular volume in patients with ventricular shunts or external ventricular drains (EVDs). We evaluated the performance of a novel fully automated CT registration and subtracti...
IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and its early detection could lead to significant improvements in outcomes through the appropriate prescription of anticoagulation medication. Although a variety of...
IMPORTANCE: Accurate risk stratification of patients with heart failure (HF) is critical to deploy targeted interventions aimed at improving patients' quality of life and outcomes.
