Prostate and breast cancer incidence rates have been on the rise in Japan, emphasising the need for precise histopathological diagnosis to determine patient prognosis and guide treatment decisions. However, existing diagnostic methods face numerous c...
PURPOSE: To propose a five-point scale for radiology report importance called Report Importance Category (RIC) and to compare the performance of natural language processing (NLP) algorithms in assessing RIC using head computed tomography (CT) reports...
PURPOSE: There are no definitive prognostic factors for patients with pathological Grade Group 5 (pGG 5) prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing robot-associated radical prostatectomy (RARP). This study aimed to explore the prognostic factors among patients...
BACKGROUND: The quality of life of patients is an important consideration when selecting treatments for localized prostate cancer (PCa). We retrospectively compared sexual function after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and carbon-ion radi...
PURPOSE: The previous studies that examined the effectiveness of unsupervised machine learning methods versus traditional methods in assessing dietary patterns and their association with incident hypertension showed contradictory results. Consequentl...
BACKGROUND: Health-related patient-reported outcomes (HR-PROs) are crucial for assessing the quality of life among individuals experiencing low back pain. However, manual data entry from paper forms, while convenient for patients, imposes a considera...
To investigate the incidence and risk factors of inguinal hernia (IH) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using a multicentric database. The present study used a multicentric database (the MSUG94) containing data on 3,195 Japanese patie...
Objective This study assessed the efficacy of machine learning in predicting thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism [thyroid-stimulating hormone >10.0 mIU/L] by leveraging age and sex as variables and integrating biochemical test parameters used by the Ja...
BACKGROUND: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) is technically demanding, and 20-50 cases are required to surpass the learning curve. This study aimed to show our experience of 76 cases from the introduction of RPD and report the changes in surgica...
