BACKGROUND: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) has been increasingly applied to clinical decision-making problems. However, due to the lack of a standardized pipeline, prior work often relied on strategies that may lead to overfitted policies and in...
Pulmonary embolism (PE) can result in long-term sequelae, such as post-PE syndrome, including persistent dyspnea and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Existing prediction tools for severe post-PE complications lack sensitivity an...
BACKGROUND: Dyspnea is a common cause of hospitalization, posing diagnostic challenges among older adult patients with multimorbid conditions. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans are increasingly used in patients with dyspnea and offer superior diag...
Rapid respiratory rate (RR) changes in older adults may indicate serious illness. Therefore, accurately estimating RR for cardiorespiratory fitness is essential. However, machine learning algorithm-related errors are unsuitable for medical decision-m...

Physical activity is a leading trigger of dyspnea in chronic cardiopulmonary diseases. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in uncovering the mechanisms underlying this distressing symptom. We start by articulating a conceptual framework linki...
BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used in the evaluation of unexplained dyspnea. However, its interpretation requires expertise that is often not available. We aim to evaluate the utility of ChatGPT (GPT) in interpreting CPET res...
Respiratory rate (RR) changes in the elderly can indicate serious diseases. Thus, accurate estimation of RRs for cardiopulmonary function is essential for home health monitoring systems. However, machine learning (ML) algorithm errors embedded in hea...
BACKGROUND: In Sweden with about 10 million inhabitants, there are about one million primary ambulance missions every year. Among them, around 10% are assessed by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) clinicians with the primary symptom of dyspnoea. The ri...
BACKGROUND: Dyspnoea is one of the emergency department's (ED) most common and deadly chief complaints, but frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated. We aimed to design a diagnostic decision support which classifies dyspnoeic ED visits into acute heart...
