BACKGROUND: Delirium superimposed on dementia (DSD) is a severe complication in older adults with dementia, marked by fluctuating cognition, inattention, and altered consciousness. Detection is challenging due to symptom overlap, yet it contributes t...
OBJECTIVES: We assessed whether proactive care management for artificial intelligence (AI)-identified at-risk patients reduced preventable emergency department (ED) visits and hospital admissions (HAs).
We sought to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for predicting multidimensional frailty based on clinical and laboratory data. Moreover, an explainable ML model utilizing SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was constructed. This stud...

BACKGROUND: Older adults (≥65 years) account for a disproportionately high proportion of hospitalization and in-hospital mortality, some of which may be avoidable. Although machine learning (ML) models have already been built and validated for predic...
BACKGROUND: In the context of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), COVID-19 outcomes are incompletely understood and vary considerably depending on the patient population studied. We aimed to analyse severe COVID-19 outcomes and to investig...
IMPORTANCE: Toxic effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can cause treatment interruptions and hospitalizations, reducing treatment efficacy and increasing health care costs. Physical activity monitoring may enable early identification of pati...
IMPORTANCE: Inpatient clinical deterioration is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality but may be easily missed by clinicians. Early warning scores have been developed to alert clinicians to patients at high risk of clinical deterioratio...
PURPOSE: Adverse effects of chemotherapy often require hospital admissions or treatment management. Identifying factors contributing to unplanned hospital utilization may improve health care quality and patients' well-being. This study aimed to asses...
