Machine Learning Used to Compare the Diagnostic Accuracy of Risk Factors, Clinical Signs and Biomarkers and to Develop a New Prediction Model for Neonatal Early-onset Sepsis.

The Pediatric infectious disease journal
BACKGROUND: Current strategies for risk stratification and prediction of neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS) are inefficient and lack diagnostic performance. The aim of this study was to use machine learning to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of risk f...

Four Biomarkers-Based Artificial Neural Network Model for Accurate Early Prediction of Bacteremia with Low-level Procalcitonin.

Annals of clinical and laboratory science
OBJECTIVE: Procalcitonin levels above 2.0 ng/mL are associated with a higher risk of severe sepsis. Bacteremia with procalcitonin levels lower than 2.0 ng/mL has not received much attention, and relevant prediction models are lacking. Herein, a panel...

Predicting Corticosteroid-Free Biologic Remission with Vedolizumab in Crohn's Disease.

Inflammatory bowel diseases
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Vedolizumab (VDZ) is effective for Crohn's disease (CD) but costly and is slow to produce remission. Early knowledge of whether vedolizumab is likely to succeed is valuable for physicians, patients, and insurers.

Higher concentrations of osteoprotegerin in type 1 diabetic patients are related to retinopathy: Results from the Poznań Prospective Study.

Advances in clinical and experimental medicine : official organ Wroclaw Medical University
BACKGROUND: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is an arterial calcification marker which has been associated with vascular damage. Elevated OPG concentrations associated with low-grade inflammatory processes are found in diabetic subjects.

[DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE].

Acta medica Croatica : casopis Hravatske akademije medicinskih znanosti
According to consensus definition, chronic kidney disease (CKD) includes urinary excretion of albumin >30 mg/day and/ or reduction in kidney function defined as a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for a period...

The power of data mining in diagnosis of childhood pneumonia.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Childhood pneumonia is the leading cause of death of children under the age of 5 years globally. Diagnostic information on the presence of infection, severity and aetiology (bacterial versus viral) is crucial for appropriate treatment. However, the d...

Comparison of Warm Blood Cardioplegia Delivery With or Without the Use of a Roller Pump.

The journal of extra-corporeal technology
Various techniques for administration of blood cardioplegia are used worldwide. In this study, the effect of warm blood cardioplegia administration with or without the use of a roller pump on perioperative myocardial injury was studied in patients un...

New Prognostic Indicator is Useful for Predicting the Survival of Patients with Unresectable Advanced Colorectal Cancer.

Hepato-gastroenterology
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Complete resection of tumors is possible after heavy chemotherapy in a few patients with unresectable colorectal cancer (UCRC). This study evaluated the ability of new prognostic score to identify such patients.
