BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening complication commonly occurring after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with an increased risk of mortality. Traditional risk assessment tools lack precision in predicting VTE in AIS patients ...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pulmonary infection (POI) is strongly associated with a poor prognosis and has a high incidence in elderly patients undergoing major surgery. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are increasingly being used in medicine, but the ...
Predictive models for determining coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity have been established; however, the complexity of the interactions among factors limits the use of conventional statistical methods. This study aimed to establish a simple...
BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a common cause of liver cirrhosis (LC), a condition associated with an unfavourable prognosis. Therefore, timely diagnosis of LC in CHB patients is crucial.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a type of stroke with high mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to identify novel aSAH risk factors by combining machine learning (ML) and traditional statistical methods. Using the UK Biobank, we id...
BACKGROUND: In hospitalized patients, inadequate antibiotic dosage leading to bacterial resistance and increased antimicrobial use intensity due to overexposure to antibiotics are common problems. In the present study, we constructed a machine learni...
This study aimed to explore the combined impacts of occupational noise and dust on hearing and extra-auditory functions and identify associated risk factors via machine learning techniques. Data from 14,145 workers (627 with occupational noise-induce...
BACKGROUND: Surrogate insulin resistance (IR) indices are simpler and more practical alternatives to insulin-based IR indicators for clinical use. This study explored the association between surrogate IR indices, including triglyceride-glucose index ...
