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...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning (ML)-based admission screening model for hospital-acquired (HA) influenza using routinely available data to support early clinical intervention.
BACKGROUND: Several studies explored factors related to adverse clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients but lacked analysis of the impact of the temporal data shifts on the strength of association between different predictors and adverse outcomes. ...
BACKGROUND: Remdesivir (RDV) was the first antiviral approved for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and for those patients at risk for progression to severe disease after clinical trials supported its association with improved outcomes. Real-world evidence (...
BACKGROUND: Serious pulmonary pathologies of infectious, viral, or bacterial origin are accompanied by inflammation and an increase in oxidative stress (OS). In these situations, biological measurements of OS are technically difficult to obtain, and ...
BACKGROUND: Dependent older people or those losing their autonomy are at risk of emergency hospitalization. Digital systems that monitor health remotely could be useful in reducing these visits by detecting worsening health conditions earlier. Howeve...
BACKGROUND: Predicting the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) combined with diabetes mellitus (DM) is crucial due to high in-hospital mortality rates. This study aims to develop and validate a mortality risk prediction model...
