Explainable deep learning algorithm for distinguishing IVIG-Resistant Kawasaki disease in Shandong peninsula, China.

BMC pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance of Kawasaki disease (KD) patients have a heightened risk of coronary artery lesions. We aimed to explore the predictive factors of IVIG resistance of KD from Shandong Peninsula in China, and es...

Young infants with bronchiolitis at low risk of respiratory deterioration in an urban, academic emergency department: prospective cohort study protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Bronchiolitis, a viral lower respiratory tract infection, is the leading cause of hospitalisation for infants, with healthcare utilisation highest among young infants (aged ≤90 days). Clinical models to predict respiratory deterioration...

Comparing Multiple Imputation Methods to Address Missing Patient Demographics in Immunization Information Systems: Retrospective Cohort Study.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Immunization Information Systems (IIS) and surveillance data are essential for public health interventions and programming; however, missing data are often a challenge, potentially introducing bias and impacting the accuracy of vaccine co...

Predictive model integrating deep learning and clinical features based on ultrasound imaging data for surgical intervention in intussusception in children younger than 8 months.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for enema reduction failure and to establish a combined model that integrates deep learning (DL) features and clinical features for predicting surgical intervention in intussuscepti...

Machine learning based screening of biomarkers associated with cell death and immunosuppression of multiple life stages sepsis populations.

Scientific reports
Sepsis is a condition resulting from the uncontrolled immune response to infection, leading to widespread inflammatory damage and potentially fatal organ dysfunction. Currently, there is a lack of specific prevention and treatment strategies for seps...

Application of machine learning in early childhood development research: a scoping review.

BMJ open
BACKGROUND: Early childhood development (ECD) lays the foundation for lifelong health, academic success and social well-being, yet over 250 million children in low- and middle-income countries are at risk of not reaching their developmental potential...

Predicting COVID-19 severity in pediatric patients using machine learning: a comparative analysis of algorithms and ensemble methods.

Scientific reports
COVID-19 has posed a significant global health challenge, affecting individuals across all age groups. While extensive research has focused on adults, pediatric patients exhibit distinct clinical characteristics that necessitate specialized predictiv...

Comparison of machine learning models for mucopolysaccharidosis early diagnosis using UAE medical records.

Scientific reports
Rare diseases, such as Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), present significant challenges to the healthcare system. Some of the most critical challenges are the delay and the lack of accurate disease diagnosis. Early diagnosis of MPS is crucial, as it has t...

A retrospective cohort study using machine learning to predict coronary artery lesions in children with Kawasaki disease.

BMC pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) mainly occurs in children under 5 years old, and the most common complication of KD is coronary artery lesion (CAL). In recent years, the incidence rate of KD has increased year by year worldwide, so it is particular...

Predicting stunting status among under five children in ethiopia using ensemblemachine learning algorithms.

Scientific reports
Childhood stunting is a persistent public health challenge in Ethiopia, significantly impacting children's physical growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. This study overcame a key limitation in previous stunting prediction models by ...
