Anti-aging factor, serum alpha-Klotho, as a marker of acute physiological stress, and a predictor of ICU mortality, in patients with septic shock.

Journal of critical care
PURPOSE: Genetic deletions decreasing serum alpha-Klotho (alpha-KL) have been associated with rapid aging, multi-organ failure and increased mortality in experimental sepsis. We hypothesized that lower alpha-KL obtained at the onset of septic shock c...

Risk prediction model for in-hospital mortality in women with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: A machine learning approach.

Heart & lung : the journal of critical care
BACKGROUND: Studies had shown that mortality due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is higher in women compared with men. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate prediction models for all-cause in-hospital mortality in women a...

Early hospital mortality prediction of intensive care unit patients using an ensemble learning approach.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Mortality prediction of hospitalized patients is an important problem. Over the past few decades, several severity scoring systems and machine learning mortality prediction models have been developed for predicting hospital mortality. By ...

A Comparison of a Machine Learning Model with EuroSCORE II in Predicting Mortality after Elective Cardiac Surgery: A Decision Curve Analysis.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The benefits of cardiac surgery are sometimes difficult to predict and the decision to operate on a given individual is complex. Machine Learning and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) are recent methods developed to create and evaluate predic...

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...
