CONTEXT: Hospitalization provides an opportunity to address end-of-life care (EoLC) preferences if patients at risk of death can be accurately identified while in the hospital. The modified Hospital One-Year Mortality Risk (mHOMR) uses demographic an...
The COVID-19 pandemic is impressively challenging the healthcare system. Several prognostic models have been validated but few of them are implemented in daily practice. The objective of the study was to validate a machine-learning risk prediction mo...
INTRODUCTION: Patients undergoing laparotomy for emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions, constitute a high-risk group with poor outcomes. These patients have a high prevalence of comorbidities. This study aims to identify patient factors, physiol...

BACKGROUND: Sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia (SAT) is common in critical patients and results in the elevation of mortality. Red cell distribution width (RDW) can reflect body response to inflammation and oxidative stress. We try to investigate the...
An early-warning model to predict in-hospital mortality on admission of COVID-19 patients at an emergency department (ED) was developed and validated using a machine-learning model. In total, 2782 patients were enrolled between March 2020 and Decembe...

In medical visualization, nursing notes contain rich information about a patient's pathological condition. However, they are not widely used in the prediction of clinical outcomes. With advances in the processing of natural language, information begi...
OBJECTIVE: To explore an artificial intelligence approach based on gradient-boosted decision trees for prediction of all-cause mortality at an intensive care unit, comparing its performance to a recent logistic regression system in the literature, an...
BACKGROUND: The ability to reliably predict outcomes after trauma in older adults (age ≥ 65 y) is critical for clinical decision making. Using novel machine-learning techniques, we sought to design a nonlinear, competing risks paradigm for prediction...
