Dynamic multi-outcome prediction after injury: Applying adaptive machine learning for precision medicine in trauma.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning techniques have demonstrated superior discrimination compared to conventional statistical approaches in predicting trauma death. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether machine learning algorithms can be used to...

Using Machine Learning to Identify Change in Surgical Decision Making in Current Use of Damage Control Laparotomy.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: In an earlier study, we reported the successful reduction in the use of damage control laparotomy (DCL); however, no change in the relative frequencies of specific indications was observed. In this study, we aimed to use machine learning ...

Total Knee Arthroplasty Is Safe and Successful in Patients With Klippel-Trénaunay Syndrome.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is a severe vascular malformation that can lead to hypertrophic osteoarthritis. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed in extremities affected with KTS is challenging given the high-risk vascular consider...

Defining Massive Transfusion in Civilian Pediatric Trauma With Traumatic Brain Injury.

The Journal of surgical research
The purpose of this study was to identify an optimal definition of massive transfusion in civilian pediatric trauma with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) METHODS: Severely injured children (age ≤18 y) with severe TBI in the Trauma Quality Improvem...

New Dandelion Algorithm Optimizes Extreme Learning Machine for Biomedical Classification Problems.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Inspired by the behavior of dandelion sowing, a new novel swarm intelligence algorithm, namely, dandelion algorithm (DA), is proposed for global optimization of complex functions in this paper. In DA, the dandelion population will be divided into two...

Artificial Neural Network System to Predict the Postoperative Outcome of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.

Journal of endourology
PURPOSE: To construct, train, and apply an artificial neural network (ANN) system for prediction of different outcome variables of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). We calculated predictive accuracy, sensitivity, and precision for each outcome var...

Predicting Prolonged Stay in the ICU Attributable to Bleeding in Patients Offered Plasma Transfusion.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
In blood transfusion studies, plasma transfusion (PPT) and bleeding are known to be associated with risk of prolonged ICU length of stay (ICU-LOS). However, as patients can show significant heterogeneity in response to a treatment, there might exists...

Bone Wax Is Effective in Reducing Blood Loss After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with major blood loss and blood transfusion is often required. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bone wax in reducing blood loss and transfusion rates after TKA.
