BACKGROUND: An ideal lung allocation system should reduce waiting list deaths, improve transplant survival, and ensure equitable organ allocation. This study aimed to develop a novel lung allocation score (LAS) system, the MaxBenefit LAS, to maximize...
In Human Activity Recognition (HAR), understanding the intricacy of body movements within high-risk applications is essential. This study uses SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to explain the decision-making process of Graph Convolution Networks (...

Early Diagnosis of Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is essential to prevent a person from death in case of a cardiac arrhythmia. Automated ECG classification is required because manual classification by cardiologists is laborious, time-consuming, and pro...
Class imbalances in healthcare data, characterized by a disproportionate number of positive cases compared to negative ones, can lead to biased machine learning models that favor the majority class. Ensuring good performance across all classes is cru...
Skin cancer is widespread and can be potentially fatal. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), it has been identified as a leading cause of mortality. It is essential to detect skin cancer early so that effective treatment can be provided ...
Uncertainty quantification is crucial in deep learning, especially in medical diagnostics, to measure model prediction confidence and ensure reliable clinical decisions. This study introduces a novel conflict-based uncertainty quantification approach...
Recently computer-aided diagnosis has demonstrated promising performance, effectively alleviating the workload of clinicians. However, the inherent sample imbalance among different diseases leads algorithms biased to the majority categories, leading ...
The limited availability of labeled ECG data restricts the application of supervised deep learning methods in ECG detection. Although existing self-supervised learning approaches have been applied to ECG analysis, they are predominantly image-based, ...
BACKGROUND: The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was developed to reduce the effects of long-term chronic glycemic factors on stress hyperglycemia levels, which was associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the relationsh...
BACKGROUND: People living with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at significantly high risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs), however the predictive performance of traditional risk prediction methods are limited.
