BACKGROUND: The Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI) is an aggregate, comprehensive, geriatric assessment scoring system derived from eight domains that predict adverse outcomes, including 12-month mortality. However, the prediction accuracy of us...
Hit-and-run crashes not only degrade the morality, but also result in delays of medical services provided to victims. However, class imbalance problem exists as the number of hit-and-run crashes is much smaller than that of non-hit-and-run crashes. T...
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is one of the greatest threats to human beings in terms of health care, economy, and society in recent history. Up to this moment, there have been no signs of remission, and there is no proven effective cure. Vaccination is the p...
Fluorescence spectroscopy is rapid, straightforward, selective, and sensitive, and can provide the molecular fingerprint of a sample based on the presence of various fluorophores. In conjunction with chemometrics, fluorescence techniques have been ap...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To derive and internally and externally validate machine-learning models to predict emergency ambulance patient door-to-off-stretcher wait times that are applicable to a wide variety of emergency departments.
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pyogenes is a leading cause of infection-related morbidity and mortality. A reinvigorated vaccine development effort calls for new clinically relevant human S pyogenes experimental infection models to support proof of concep...
Early identification of patients with life-threatening risks such as delirium is crucial in order to initiate preventive actions as quickly as possible. Despite intense research on machine learning for the prediction of clinical outcomes, the accepta...
Human mobility is a primary driver of infectious disease spread. However, existing data is limited in availability, coverage, granularity, and timeliness. Data-driven forecasts of disease dynamics are crucial for decision-making by health officials a...
Despite their extremely small size, fine-mode aerosols have significant impacts on the environment, climate, and human health. However, current understandings of global changes in fine-mode aerosols are limited. In this study, we employed newly devel...
At present times, financial decisions are mainly based on the classifier technique, which is utilized to allocate a collection of observations into fixed groups. A diverse set of data classifier approaches were presented for forecasting the financial...
