Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. NAFLD patients have excessive liver fat (steatosis), without other liver diseases and without excessive alcohol consumption. NAFLD consists of a spectr...
OBJECTIVE: Limited evidences are available on biomarkers to recognize Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients at risk to develop erosive arthritis. Anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) have been widely investigated and identified in up to...
BACKGROUND: Increased systemic and local inflammation play a vital role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of selected machine learning methods and hematological markers of inflammation in pre...
We compare the performance of logistic regression with several alternative machine learning methods to estimate the risk of death for patients following an emergency admission to hospital based on the patients' first blood test results and physiologi...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer responsible for approximately 600,000 deaths per year worldwide. Thus, it is very important to find the related factors and detect the cancer accurately. However, timely and accurate prediction of the diseas...
Unplanned extubation (UE) can be associated with fatal outcome; however, an accurate model for predicting the mortality of UE patients in intensive care units (ICU) is lacking. Therefore, we aim to compare the performances of various machine learning...
