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...

To identify prodromal correlates of asthma as compared to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and allied-conditions (COPDAC) using a multi domain analysis of socio-ecological, clinical, and demographic domains. This is a retrospective case-risk-co...
INTRODUCTION: Asthma is a long-term condition with rapid onset worsening of symptoms ('attacks') which can be unpredictable and may prove fatal. Models predicting asthma attacks require high sensitivity to minimise mortality risk, and high specificit...
