The role of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis, imaging, and treatment of thoracic empyema.

Current opinion in pulmonary medicine
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The management of thoracic empyema is often complicated by diagnostic delays, recurrence, treatment failures and infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particular...

Assessing artificial intelligence ability in predicting hospitalization duration for pleural empyema patients managed with uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a retrospective observational study.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: This retrospective observational research evaluates the potential applicability of artificial intelligence models to predict the length of hospital stay for patients with pleural empyema who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopi...

Machine Learning Model Predictors of Intrapleural Tissue Plasminogen Activator and DNase Failure in Pleural Infection: A Multicenter Study.

Annals of the American Thoracic Society
Intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET) with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and DNase has been shown to reduce the need for surgical intervention for complicated parapneumonic effusion/empyema (CPPE/empyema). Failure of IET may lead to delayed care an...
