Cholestasis, characterized by the obstruction of bile flow, poses a significant concern in neonates and infants. It can result in jaundice, inadequate weight gain, and liver dysfunction. However, distinguishing between biliary atresia (BA) and non-bi...
The histopathological classification of melanocytic tumours with spitzoid features remains a challenging task. We confront the complexities involved in the histological classification of these tumours by proposing machine learning (ML) algorithms tha...
BACKGROUND: The decline in global child mortality is an important public health achievement, yet child mortality remains disproportionally high in many low-income countries like Guinea-Bissau. The persisting high mortality rates necessitate targeted ...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a deep learning algorithm to perform multi-class classification of normal pediatric heart sounds, innocent murmurs, and pathologic murmurs.
Total Cardiac Volume (TCV)-based size matching using Computed Tomography (CT) is a novel technique to compare donor and recipient heart size in pediatric heart transplant that may increase overall utilization of available grafts. TCV requires manual ...
BACKGROUND: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as a novel method for evaluating heart failure (HF) in adult electrocardiograms (ECGs). However, such CNNs are not applicable to pediatric HF, where abnormal anatomy of congenital heart de...
The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning models to predict infant feeding status from clinical notes in the Epic electronic health records system. The primary outcome was the classi...

BACKGROUND: Major adverse postoperative outcomes (APOs) can greatly affect mortality, hospital stay, care management and planning, and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of five machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicti...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Medulloblastoma (MB) and Ependymoma (EM) in children, share similarities in age group, tumor location, and clinical presentation. Distinguishing between them through clinical diagnosis is challenging. This study aims to expl...
OBJECTIVE: Despite advances, analysis and interpretation of EEG still essentially rely on visual inspection by a super-specialized physician. Considering the vast amount of data that composes the EEG, much of the detail inevitably escapes ordinary hu...
