Within the ethical debate on Machine Learning-driven decision support systems (ML_CDSS), notions such as "human in the loop" or "meaningful human control" are often cited as being necessary for ethical legitimacy. In addition, ethical principles usua...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a severe form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome that is caused by infection. Sepsis is characterized by a marked state of stress, which manifests as nonspecific physiological and metabolic changes in response to the dis...
Elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is associated with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, fewer than 0.5% of individuals undergo Lp(a) testing, limiting the evaluation and use of novel targeted therapeutics currently under develo...

OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to assess a machine learning model's ability to predict the occurrence of life-altering events in hemiarch surgery and determine contributing patient characteristics and intraoperative factors.
There is increasing interest in moving away from "one size fits all (OSFA)" approaches toward stratifying treatment decisions. Understanding how expected effectiveness and cost-effectiveness varies with patient covariates is a key aspect of stratifie...

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is not only a complication but also a serious threat to patients with cerebral infarction (CI). This study aimed to explore the application of interpretable machine learning algorithms in predicting AKI in patien...
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a chronic disorder with a significant health and economic burden. Several VTE-specific clinical prediction models (CPMs) have been used to assist physicians in decision-making but have several limitations....
Peripheral artery disease is a major atherosclerotic disease that is associated with poor outcomes such as limb loss, cardiovascular morbidity, and death. Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen increasing integration in medicine, and its various appli...
OBJECTIVE: One in five patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rely on surgery to restore joint function. However, variable response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) complicates surgical planning, and it is difficult to predict which...
