INTRODUCTION: Predictive models hold significant potential in healthcare, but their adoption in clinical settings is hampered by limited trust due to their inability to recognize when presented with unfamiliar data. Estimating knowledge uncertainty (...
BACKGROUND: Delirium superimposed on dementia (DSD) is a severe complication in older adults with dementia, marked by fluctuating cognition, inattention, and altered consciousness. Detection is challenging due to symptom overlap, yet it contributes t...

Patients in the ICU frequently suffer from delirium, which can delay their recovery and may cause significant distress. Despite standardized scoring systems, its diagnosis and classification however, remain largely subjective and are subject to intra...
INTRODUCTION: Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older patients, with an incidence of 14-56%. To implement preventative procedures, it is necessary to identify patients at risk for POD. In the present study, we aimed to develop...
