METS-VF as a novel predictor of gallstones in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional analysis (NHANES 2017-2020).

BMC gastroenterology
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...

Deep learning models for deriving optimised measures of fat and muscle mass from MRI.

Scientific reports
Fat and muscle mass are potential biomarkers of wellbeing and disease in oncology, but clinical measurement methods vary considerably. Here we evaluate the accuracy, precision and ability to track change for multiple deep learning (DL) models that qu...

Nonlinear association between visceral fat metabolism score and heart failure: insights from LightGBM modeling and SHAP-Driven feature interpretation in NHANES.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
OBJECTIVE: Using 2005-2018 NHANES data, this study examined the association between the visceral fat metabolism score (METS-VF) and heart failure (HF) prevalence in U.S. adults, leveraging machine learning (LightGBM/XGBoost) and SHAP for classficatio...

Evaluation of semi-automated versus fully automated technologies for computed tomography scalable body composition analyses in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Fully automated, artificial intelligence (AI) -based software has recently become available for scalable body composition analysis. Prior to broad application in the clinical arena, validation studies are needed. Our goal wa...

Effect of visceral fat on onset of metabolic syndrome.

Scientific reports
This study analysed the effects of visceral fat on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and developed an algorithm to predict its onset using health examination data from the Iwaki Health Promotion Project in Japan. The dataset included 213 cases of MetS onset ...

Validation of body composition parameters extracted via deep learning-based segmentation from routine computed tomographies.

Scientific reports
Sarcopenia and body composition metrics are strongly associated with patient outcomes. In this study, we developed and validated a flexible, open-access pipeline integrating available deep learning-based segmentation models with pre- and postprocessi...

Measurement of adipose body composition using an artificial intelligence-based CT Protocol and its association with severe acute pancreatitis in hospitalized patients.

Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The clinical utility of body composition in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) remains unclear. We aimed to measure body composition using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict severe AP in hospitalized patien...

Multimodal deep learning: tumor and visceral fat impact on colorectal cancer occult peritoneal metastasis.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: This study proposes a multimodal deep learning (DL) approach to investigate the impact of tumors and visceral fat on occult peritoneal metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

Preoperative blood and CT-image nutritional indicators in short-term outcomes and machine learning survival framework of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND&AIMS: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is aggressive with limited treatment and poor prognosis. Preoperative nutritional status assessment is crucial for predicting outcomes in patients. This study aimed to compare the predictive cap...
