PURPOSE: To determine whether multivariate machine learning models of algorithmically assessed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features from breast cancer patients are associated with Oncotype DX (ODX) test recurrence scores.
BACKGROUND: Predicting death in a cohort of clinically diverse, multicondition hospitalized patients is difficult. Prognostic models that use electronic medical record (EMR) data to determine 1-year death risk can improve end-of-life planning and ris...
BACKGROUND: As a high-prevalence health condition, hypertension is clinically costly, difficult to manage, and often leads to severe and life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke.
BACKGROUND: Patients with kidney disease are more likely to develop atrial fibrillation (AF) than individuals with normal renal function, and more likely to suffer ischemic stroke (IS)/thromboembolism (TE). We investigated the relationship of kidney ...
