Alcoholic liver disease: A registry view on comorbidities and disease prediction.

PLoS computational biology
Alcoholic-related liver disease (ALD) is the cause of more than half of all liver-related deaths. Sustained excess drinking causes fatty liver and alcohol-related steatohepatitis, which may progress to alcoholic liver fibrosis (ALF) and eventually to...

Inferring transportation mode from smartphone sensors: Evaluating the potential of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

PloS one
Understanding which transportation modes people use is critical for smart cities and planners to better serve their citizens. We show that using information from pervasive Wi-Fi access points and Bluetooth devices can enhance GPS and geographic infor...

Predicting mechanical restraint of psychiatric inpatients by applying machine learning on electronic health data.

Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica
OBJECTIVE: Mechanical restraint (MR) is used to prevent patients from harming themselves or others during inpatient treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate whether incident MR occurring in the first 3 days following admission could ...

Robot-assisted surgery in a broader healthcare perspective: a difference-in-difference-based cost analysis of a national prostatectomy cohort.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVE: To estimate costs attributable to robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) as compared with open prostatectomy (OP) and laparoscopic prostatectomies (LP) in a National Health Service perspective.

Maternal serum concentrations of perfluoroalkyl acids in five international birth cohorts.

International journal of hygiene and environmental health
BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are persistent and bioaccumulating compounds, which are spread all over the globe. We aimed to compare the PFAA concentrations in serum from pregnant women in five birth cohorts from four countries (Denmark, C...

Therapeutic effects of dog visits in nursing homes for the elderly.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society

Attitudes to a robot bathtub in Danish elder care: A hermeneutic interview study.

Nursing & health sciences
In Western countries, assistive technology is implemented on a large scale in elder care settings. Only a few studies have attempted to explore the different attitudes to assistive technology among various groups of users. In this study, we investiga...

Prediction of bloodstream infection using machine learning based primarily on biochemical data.

Scientific reports
Early diagnosis of bloodstream infection (BSI) is crucial for informed antibiotic use. This study developed a machine learning approach for early BSI detection using a comprehensive dataset from Rigshospitalet, Denmark (2010-2020). The dataset includ...

Identifying Mild-to-Moderate Atopic Dermatitis Using a Generic Machine Learning Approach: A Danish National Health Register Study.

Acta dermato-venereologica
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease, causing itching and recurrent eczematous lesions. In Danish national register data, adults with atopic dermatitis can only be identified if they have a hospital-diagnosed atopic dermatitis. The purpose of ...
