Identifying the Underlying Cause of Death accurately is crucial for effective healthcare policy and planning. The World Health Organization recommends using the ICD-10 system to standardize death certificate coding, a task often supported by semi-aut...
BACKGROUND: The mortality burden of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is rising, making it crucial to predict mortality and identify the factors influencing it. While advanced machine learning algorithms are gaining recogni...
BACKGROUND: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and glycemic variability (GV) reflect acute glucose elevation and fluctuations, which correlate with adverse outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the prognosti...
BACKGROUND: The analysis, interpretation and storage of information is entrusted to the individual expert, who bases his judgments on the knowledge resulting from the experience. The aim of this experimental study is to analyse and introduce a new li...
OBJECTIVES: the health status of people living near industrial plants is often exposed to several environmental risk factors, including air pollution. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between daily PM10 levels and cause-specific mo...
AIMS: Dynamic retinal vessel analysis (DVA) provides a non-invasive way to assess microvascular function in patients and potentially to improve predictions of individual cardiovascular (CV) risk. The aim of our study was to use untargeted machine lea...
BACKGROUND: Populational ageing has been increasing in a remarkable rate in developing countries. In this scenario, preventive strategies could help to decrease the burden of higher demands for healthcare services. Machine learning algorithms have be...

OBJECTIVE: Cause of death is used as an important outcome of clinical research; however, access to cause-of-death data is limited. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine-learning model that predicts the cause of death from the patient's l...
BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative treatment option for malignant hematological disorders. Transplant clinicians estimate patient-specific prognosis empirically in clinical practice based on previous st...
