BACKGROUND: Asthma exacerbation is an acute or subacute episode of progressive worsening of asthma symptoms and can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. However, efficient methods that can help identify personalized risk factors an...
INTRODUCTION: Most asthma attacks and subsequent deaths are potentially preventable. We aim to develop a prognostic tool for identifying patients at high risk of asthma attacks in primary care by leveraging advances in machine learning.
PURPOSE: Little is known about the characteristics and impact of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) during episodes of asthma exacerbation. We aimed to characterize patients diagnosed with acute PE in the setting of asthma exacerbation, develop a predicti...

Intelligent medical diagnosis has become common in the era of big data, although this technique has been applied to asthma only in limited contexts. Using routine blood biomarkers to identify asthma patients would make clinical diagnosis easier to im...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB). Although polysomnography is beneficial for preoperative risk stratification in these chi...
Incorporating expert knowledge at the time machine learning models are trained holds promise for producing models that are easier to interpret. The main objectives of this study were to use a feature engineering approach to incorporate clinical exper...

OBJECTIVE: Sleep is a natural activity of humans that affects physical and mental health; therefore, sleep disturbance may lead to fatigue and lower productivity. This study examined 1 million samples included in the Taiwan National Health Insurance ...
'Asthma' is a complex disease that encapsulates a heterogeneous group of phenotypes and endotypes. Research to understand these phenotypes has previously been based on longitudinal wheeze patterns or hypothesis-driven observational criteria. The aim ...
Machine learning (ML) is poised as a transformational approach uniquely positioned to discover the hidden biological interactions for better prediction and diagnosis of complex diseases. In this work, we integrated ML-based models for feature selecti...
