BACKGROUND: Palliative care is a key component of integrated care to improve care quality and reduce hospitalization costs for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aims to use machine learning algorithms to create an...
The global increase in the older adult population highlights the need for effective frailty assessment, a condition linked to adverse health outcomes such as hospitalization and mortality. Existing frailty assessment tools, like the Fried phenotype a...
BACKGROUND: Frailty is defined as a clinical state of increased vulnerability due to the age-associated decline of an individual's physical function resulting in increased morbidity and mortality when exposed to acute stressors. Early identification ...

BACKGROUND: Frailty can lead to increased adverse health outcomes in older adults. Risk prediction models for frailty have benefits in guiding the prevention. Studies have increasingly focused on the development of risk prediction models for frailty ...
BACKGROUND: The two most commonly used methods to identify frailty are the frailty phenotype and the frailty index. However, both methods have limitations in clinical application. In addition, methods for measuring frailty have not yet been standardi...

AIM: Pre-injury frailty has been investigated as a tool to predict outcomes of older trauma patients. Using artificial intelligence principles of machine learning, we aimed to identify a "signature" (combination of clinical variables) that could pred...
INTRODUCTION: Frailty is an emerging global health burden, and there is no consensus on the precise prediction of frailty. We aimed to explore the association between grip strength and frailty and interpret the optimal machine learning (ML) model usi...
Frailty is common among older adults with chronic pain, and early identification is crucial in preventing adverse outcomes like falls, disability, and dementia. However, effective tools for identifying frailty in this population remain limited. This ...
BACKGROUND: Frailty assessment is imperative for tailoring healthcare interventions for older adults, but its implementation remains challenging due to the effort and time needed. The advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language proc...
