Our aim was to investigate the usefulness of machine learning approaches on linked administrative health data at the population level in predicting older patients' one-year risk of acute coronary syndrome and death following the use of non-steroidal ...
Heart Failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. With aging of the US population, the public health burden of HF is enormous. We aimed to develop an ensemble prediction model for 30-day mortality after discharge using machine...

The international standard to ascertain the cause of death is medical certification. However, in many low and middle-income countries, the majority of deaths occur outside of health facilities. In these cases, Verbal Autopsy (VA), the narrative provi...
BACKGROUND: Random forests (RF) is a widely used machine-learning algorithm, and outperforms many other machine learning algorithms in prediction-accuracy. But it is rarely used for predicting causes of death (COD) in cancer patients. On the other ha...

Many modern problems in medicine and public health leverage machine-learning methods to predict outcomes based on observable covariates. In a wide array of settings, predicted outcomes are used in subsequent statistical analysis, often without accoun...

BACKGROUND: Electromechanical- and robot-assisted gait-training devices are used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2007 and previously updated in 2017.

BACKGROUND: Currently, patient selection in TAVI is based upon a multidisciplinary heart team assessment of patient comorbidities and surgical risk stratification. In an era of increasing need for precision medicine and quickly expanding TAVI indicat...
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of studies investigating the heterogeneity of patients with aortic stenosis (AS). We explored whether cluster analysis identifies distinct subgroups with different prognostic significances in AS.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely used medical test, consisting of voltage versus time traces collected from surface recordings over the heart. Here we hypothesized that a deep neural network (DNN) can predict an important future clinical event...
