Association of Brain Age With Physical Disability and Cognitive Impairment in People With Multiple Sclerosis of the Same Age.

Neurology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) is a novel marker of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). Brain-PAD has been associated with clinical disability in heterogeneous MS patient cohorts of varying ages an...

Feigning spectrum behaviour on the Neck Disability Index and Impact of Events Scale in whiplash associated disorder after motor vehicle crashes: a systematic assessment of classification models.

BMC psychology
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop indices of feigning spectrum behaviour (FSB) on the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS) Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Impact of Events Scale (IES) in people with whiplash associated disorder (WAD) after mo...

Prediction of disability levels and research on nursing economic costs for elderly people in China.

PloS one
This study aims to solve the problem of the shortage of professional nursing staff and the inability of the quality of nursing services to meet the needs of the elderly. Therefore, a longitudinal research type was adopted for long-term tracking and o...

Application of interpretable machine learning to predict activities of daily living disability in sarcopenia: insights from the CHARLS dataset.

BMC geriatrics
PURPOSE: The decline in activities of daily living (ADL) among older persons is a significant public health concern. Sarcopenia is a major risk factor for ADL disability. This study aimed to develop and validate an interpretable machine learning (IML...

Single-centre, prospective cohort to predict optimal individualised treatment response in multiple sclerosis (POINT-MS): a cohort profile.

BMJ open
PURPOSE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition that affects approximately 150 000 people in the UK and presents a significant healthcare burden, including the high costs of disease-modifying treatments (DMTs). DMTs have substant...

External validation of a prediction model for disability and pain after lumbar disc herniation surgery: a prospective international registry-based cohort study.

Acta orthopaedica
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:  We aimed to externally validate machine learning models developed in Norway by evaluating their predictive outcome of disability and pain 12 months after lumbar disc herniation surgery in a Swedish and Danish cohort.

Using graph machine learning to identify functioning in patients with low back pain in terms of ICF.

Scientific reports
As a comprehensive perspective on functioning is useful in patient assessments, the WHO developed the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) to provide a standardized terminology and framework for describing and cla...

AI-assisted identification of disability patterns within identical EDSS grades.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
BACKGROUND: The Neurostatus-Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is the most frequently used measure of disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) trials. However, EDSS scores ⩾4.5 are mainly based on ambulation and may fail to capture relevant disabil...
