Evaluation of the Effect of a Continuous Treatment: A Machine Learning Approach with an Application to Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury.

Health economics
For a continuous treatment, the generalised propensity score (GPS) is defined as the conditional density of the treatment, given covariates. GPS adjustment may be implemented by including it as a covariate in an outcome regression. Here, the unbiased...

Predictive modeling in pediatric traumatic brain injury using machine learning.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a significant burden and diagnostic challenge in the emergency department (ED). While large North American research networks have derived clinical prediction rules for the head injured ch...

Robotic-assisted gait training in neurological patients: who may benefit?

Annals of biomedical engineering
Regaining one's ability to walk is of great importance for neurological patients and is a major goal of all rehabilitation programs. Gait training of severely affected patients after the neurological event is technically difficult because of their mo...

Permutation entropy analysis of vital signs data for outcome prediction of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.

Computers in biology and medicine
Permutation entropy is computationally efficient, robust to outliers, and effective to measure complexity of time series. We used this technique to quantify the complexity of continuous vital signs recorded from patients with traumatic brain injury (...

The first step in using a robot in brain injury rehabilitation: patients' and health-care professionals' perspective.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usability of a mobile telepresence robot (MTR) in a hospital training apartment (HTA). The MTR was manoeuvred remotely and was used for communication when assessing independent living skills, and for security monitoring of co...

Automatic Identification of Brain Injury Mechanism Based on Deep Learning.

Fa yi xue za zhi
OBJECTIVES: To apply the convolutional neural network (CNN) Inception_v3 model in automatic identification of acceleration and deceleration injury based on CT images of brain, and to explore the application prospect of deep learning technology in for...

[Evaluation of brain injury caused by stick type blunt instruments based on convolutional neural network and finite element method].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
The finite element method is a new method to study the mechanism of brain injury caused by blunt instruments. But it is not easy to be applied because of its technology barrier of time-consuming and strong professionalism. In this study, a rapid and ...

Detection of Brain Activation in Unresponsive Patients with Acute Brain Injury.

The New England journal of medicine
BACKGROUND: Brain activation in response to spoken motor commands can be detected by electroencephalography (EEG) in clinically unresponsive patients. The prevalence and prognostic importance of a dissociation between commanded motor behavior and bra...

Ankle passive and active movement training in children with acute brain injury using a wearable robot.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a wearable robotic device in guiding isometric torque generation and passive-active movement training for ankle motor recovery in children with acute brain injury.
