The current recommendation for bioprosthetic valve replacement in severe aortic stenosis (AS) is either surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We evaluated the performance of a machine learning-base...
BACKGROUND: Frailty syndrome (FS) is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases, which is associated with lower physical and mental capacities in older adults. FS diagnosis is mostly focused on biological variables; however, it is likely that th...
BACKGROUND: Physical frailty is an important issue in aging societies. Three models of physical frailty assessment, the 5-Item fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness and loss of weight (FRAIL); Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS); and Study of Osteop...
BACKGROUND: Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health disorders in the middle aged and older population. Because older individuals are more likely to have multiple comorbidities or increased frailty, the impact of anxiety disorders on...
AIMS: Early identification and intervention of the frailty of the elderly will help lighten the burden of social medical care and improve the quality of life of the elderly. Therefore, we used machine learning (ML) algorithm to develop models to pred...
BACKGROUND: This study aims to implement a validated prediction model and application medium for postoperative pneumonia (POP) in elderly patients with hip fractures in order to facilitate individualized intervention by clinicians.
BACKGROUND: Although risk calculators are used to prognosticate postoperative outcomes following revision total hip and knee arthroplasty (total joint arthroplasty [TJA]), machine learning (ML) based predictive tools have emerged as a promising alter...
Short-term mortality risk, which is indicative of individual frailty, serves as a marker for aging. Previous age clocks focused on predicting either chronological age or longer-term mortality. Aging clocks predicting short-term mortality are lacking ...
BACKGROUND: Accelerated biological ageing is a major underlying mechanism of frailty development. This study aimed to investigate if the biological age measured by a blood biochemistry-based ageing clock is associated with frailty in geriatric rehabi...
BACKGROUND: Recording and coding of ageing syndromes in hospital records is known to be suboptimal. Natural Language Processing algorithms may be useful to identify diagnoses in electronic healthcare records to improve the recording and coding of the...
