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.
The use of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence in medicine has attracted significant interest due to its ability to aid in predicting medical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the random forest algorithm ...
Diabetes mellitus stands out as one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting pediatric populations. The escalating incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes (T1D) globally is a matter of increasing concern. Developing an effective model that l...
There is currently a paucity of research on the effects of early life exposure to particulate matter (PM) of various size fractions on pneumonia in preschool-aged children. We explored the connections between antenatal and postnatal exposure to atmos...
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects approximately 1% of newborns and is a leading cause of mortality in early childhood. Despite the importance of early detection, current screening methods, such as pulse oximetry and auscultation, hav...
Deficits in emotional reactivity and regulation assessed in infancy, including high levels of negative emotionality (NE), low positive emotionality (PE) and low soothability, can predict future affective and behavioral disorders. White matter (WM) tr...
BACKGROUND: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading preventable cause of childhood blindness. A timely intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is required to prevent retinal detachment with consequent visi...
BACKGROUND: Estimating time-since-injury of healing fractures is imprecise, encompassing excessively wide timeframes. Most injured children are evaluated at non-children's hospitals, yet pediatric radiologists can disagree with up to one in six skele...
BACKGROUND: Healthcare practitioners require a robust predictive system to accurately diagnose diseases, especially in young children with conditions such as anemia. Delays in diagnosis and treatment can have severe consequences, potentially leading ...
The use of 3D marker-based motion analysis systems is considered the gold standard for tracking limb movements. However, these systems are expensive, limited to laboratory settings, and difficult to apply when studying paediatric populations. Therefo...
