Predictors of in-hospital mortality following major lower extremity amputations in type 2 diabetic patients using artificial neural networks.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction is important in the clinical decision-making process. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used to predict the risk of post-operative events, including survival, and are increasingly being used in complex medical ...

Early surgery after angiography in patients scheduled for valve replacement.

Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals
Background There are limited data regarding the risks of cardiac surgery early after coronary angiography in patients scheduled for isolated aortic and/or mitral valve replacement. Our aim was to evaluate the risk of early surgery after coronary angi...

Assessing Hospital Performance After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Big Data.

Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes
BACKGROUND: Although risk adjustment remains a cornerstone for comparing outcomes across hospitals, optimal strategies continue to evolve in the presence of many confounders. We compared conventional regression-based model to approaches particularly ...

Procalcitonin as a potential predicting factor for prognosis in bacterial meningitis.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
We investigated the potential role of serum procalcitonin in differentiating bacterial meningitis from viral meningitis, and in predicting the prognosis in patients with bacterial meningitis. This was a retrospective study of 80 patients with bacteri...

Using machine learning methods for predicting inhospital mortality in patients undergoing open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Journal of biomedical informatics
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of the aortic vessel at abdominal level. This disease presents high rate of mortality and complications causing a decrease in the quality of life and increasing the cost of treatment. To estimate...

Prediction of In-hospital Mortality in Emergency Department Patients With Sepsis: A Local Big Data-Driven, Machine Learning Approach.

Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
OBJECTIVES: Predictive analytics in emergency care has mostly been limited to the use of clinical decision rules (CDRs) in the form of simple heuristics and scoring systems. In the development of CDRs, limitations in analytic methods and concerns wit...

Herpes simplex virus in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of medical intensive care unit patients: Association with lung injury and outcome.

Journal of critical care
PURPOSE: In intensive care unit (ICU) patients in whom bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed for suspected infectious pulmonary disease, we investigated the association of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the BALF with lung injury and patient...

Statistical Machines for Trauma Hospital Outcomes Research: Application to the PRospective, Observational, Multi-Center Major Trauma Transfusion (PROMMTT) Study.

PloS one
Improving the treatment of trauma, a leading cause of death worldwide, is of great clinical and public health interest. This analysis introduces flexible statistical methods for estimating center-level effects on individual outcomes in the context of...
