AI-driven scientometric analysis with recency insights: lower urinary tract symptoms in older and frail populations.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: This artificial intelligence (AI)-driven scientometric analysis, conducted using the Mynd discovery platform, explores research trends in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among older patients. By applying its novel recency metric, the stu...

Development of an interpretable machine learning model for frailty risk prediction in older adult care institutions: a mixed-methods, cross-sectional study in China.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning (ML)-based frailty risk prediction model that combines real-time health data with validated scale assessments for enhanced decision-making and targeted health management in integrat...

The value of radiomics features of white matter hyperintensities in diagnosing cognitive frailty: a study based on T2-FLAIR imaging.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are closely associated with cognitive frailty (CF). This study aims to explore the potential diagnostic value of WMHs for CF based on radiomics approaches, thereby providing a novel methodology for the...

Splenic and portal venous flow associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older outpatients with cardiovascular disease.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Older patients with cardiovascular disease often experience frailty and sarcopenia. We evaluated whether a reduced blood flow in the splenic and portal vein is associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with cardiovascular d...

The predictive role of identifying frailty in assessing the need for palliative care in the elderly: the application of machine learning algorithm.

Journal of health, population, and nutrition
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...

Explainable machine learning framework for biomarker discovery by combining biological age and frailty prediction.

Scientific reports
Biological age (BA) and frailty represent two distinct health measures that offer valuable insights into the aging process. Comparing and analyzing blood-based biomarkers from the machine learning (ML) predictors of BA and frailty helps deepen our un...

Frailty identification using a sensor-based upper-extremity function test: a deep learning approach.

Scientific reports
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...

Prospective multicenter external validation of the rib fracture frailty index.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
BACKGROUND: The Rib Fracture Frailty (RFF) Index is an internally validated machine learning-based risk assessment tool for adult patients with rib fractures that requires minimal provider entry. Existing frailty risk scores have yet to undergo head-...

Machine Learning Models for Frailty Classification of Older Adults in Northern Thailand: Model Development and Validation Study.

JMIR aging
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 ...

Risk prediction models for frailty in older adults: A systematic review and critical appraisal.

International journal of nursing studies
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 ...
