Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may impact outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score assesses cardiovascular risk post-ACS. This study evaluated whether incorporating the STOP-BANG sc...
IMPORTANCE: Unrecognized deterioration among hospitalized children is associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity. The current approach to pediatric risk stratification is fragmented, as each hospital unit (emergency, ward, or intensive ca...
BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to determine whether the application of machine learning could predict PASC by using diagnoses from primary care and prescribed medication 1 year prior to PASC diagnosis.
OBJECTIVE: To assess patient characteristics and care factors that are associated with correct and incorrect predictions of future care locations (ICU vs. non-ICU) by the Criticality Index-Dynamic (CI-D), with the goal of enhancing the CI-D.
BACKGROUND: Malignant tumors are a major global health crisis, causing 25% of deaths in China, with lung, liver, thyroid, breast, and colon cancers being the most common. Understanding the factors influencing hospitalization costs for these cancers i...
BACKGROUND: Delirium is common in hospitalized patients and is correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite this, delirium is underdiagnosed, and many institutions do not have sufficient resources to consistently apply effective screeni...
