Social and Structural Determinants of Lower Extremity Amputations in Diabetes.

Current diabetes reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lower extremity amputations (LEAs) are among the most severe complications of diabetes, with approximately 1.5 million procedures performed globally each year. This review explores the impact of social and structural determinants o...

An interpreting machine learning models to predict amputation risk in patients with diabetic foot ulcers: a multi-center study.

Frontiers in endocrinology
BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) constitute a significant complication among individuals with diabetes and serve as a primary cause of nontraumatic lower-extremity amputation (LEA) within this population. We aimed to develop machine learning (...

Predicting Outcomes Following Lower Extremity Endovascular Revascularization Using Machine Learning.

Journal of the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND: Lower extremity endovascular revascularization for peripheral artery disease carries nonnegligible perioperative risks; however, outcome prediction tools remain limited. Using machine learning, we developed automated algorithms that predi...

Mangled extremity: limb salvage for reconstruction versus primary amputation.

Current opinion in critical care
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While MESS has historically influenced limb salvage versus amputation decisions, its universal applicability remains uncertain. With trauma systems expanding and advancements in trauma care, the need for a nuanced understanding of ...

A Machine Learning Model for Prediction of Amputation in Diabetics.

Journal of diabetes science and technology
BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and the resulting lower extremity amputation are associated with a poor survival prognosis. The objective of this study is to generate a model for predicting the probability of major amputation in hospitalized pa...

Machine learning analysis of multispectral imaging and clinical risk factors to predict amputation wound healing.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Prediction of amputation wound healing is challenging due to the multifactorial nature of critical limb ischemia and lack of objective assessment tools. Up to one-third of amputations require revision to a more proximal level within 1 year...

Use of Natural Language Processing to Improve Identification of Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease.

Circulation. Cardiovascular interventions
BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is underrecognized, undertreated, and understudied: each of these endeavors requires efficient and accurate identification of patients with PAD. Currently, PAD patient identification relies on diagnosis/pro...

Cleaning Up the MESS: Can Machine Learning Be Used to Predict Lower Extremity Amputation after Trauma-Associated Arterial Injury?

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: Thirty years after the Mangled Extremity Severity Score was developed, advances in vascular, trauma, and orthopaedic surgery have rendered the sensitivity of this score obsolete. A significant number of patients receive amputation during ...

What microsurgeon, orthopaedic and plastic surgeon should know about bionic hand.

Injury
Hand loss is a catastrophic event that generates significant demands for orthopedics and prosthetics. In the course of history, prostheses evolved from passive esthetic replacements to sophisticated robotic hands. Yet, their actuation and particularl...
