BACKGROUND: Prognostication is an essential tool for risk adjustment and decision making in the intensive care unit (ICU). Research into prognostication in ICU has so far been limited to data from admission or the first 24 hours. Most ICU admissions ...

We propose to discriminate the pathological grades directly on digital mammograms instead of pathological images. An end-to-end learning algorithm based on the combined multi-level features is proposed. Low-level features are extracted and selected b...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to build a model of machine learning (ML) for the prediction of mortality in patients with isolated moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

INTRODUCTION: Incorporating urine volume into adequacy assessment was recommended by The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology. The concept was relatively new, however, and supportive studies were sparse. We accordingly aimed to determine the r...
The primary objective of this study is to investigate how the deep learning approach contributes to citywide short-term crash risk prediction by leveraging multi-source datasets. This study uses data collected from Manhattan in New York City to illus...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In healthcare systems, the cost of unplanned readmission accounts for a large proportion of total hospital payment. Hospital-specific readmission rate becomes a critical issue around the world. Quantification and early ident...
Heterogeneous ensembles are an effective approach in scenarios where the ideal data type and/or individual predictor are unclear for a given problem. These ensembles have shown promise for protein function prediction (PFP), but their ability to impro...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to predict the risk of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated with acute lung injury (ALI) by artificial neural networks (ANNs) model.
Growth/no growth boundary models for Bacillus spores that accounted for the effects of environmental pH, water activity (a), acetic acid, lactic acid, bacterial strain, and storage period were developed using conventional logistic regression and mach...
UNLABELLED: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) decreases delayed graft function (DGF) and improves 1-year graft survival in expanded criteria donors (ECDs). Time of HMP could be associated with incidence of DGF.
