Modeling time-to-event (survival) data using classification tree analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Time to the occurrence of an event is often studied in health research. Survival analysis differs from other designs in that follow-up times for individuals who do not experience the event by the end of the study (cal...

Impairment of Thyroid Function in Critically Ill Patients in the Intensive Care Units.

The American journal of the medical sciences
Unexplained hypotension in the intensive care unit is commonly attributed to volume depletion, cardiorespiratory failure, sepsis, or relative adrenal insufficiency. In these acute conditions, thyroid hormone levels measured in blood, serum or plasma ...

Robotic versus thoracoscopic thymectomy: The current evidence.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to analyze all relevant comparative studies comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive thymectomy (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy (VATS) in terms of surgical and short-term outcomes.

Machine learning to identify multigland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: 20%-25% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism will have multigland disease (MGD). Preoperatative imaging can be inaccurate or unnecessary in MGD. Identification of MGD could direct the need for imaging and inform operative approach...

Turn Intent Detection For Control of a Lower Limb Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: An adaptable lower limb prosthesis with variable stiffness in the transverse plane requires a control method to effect changes in real time during amputee turning. This study aimed to identify classification algorithms that can accurately ...

Ablation Index and Surround Flow Catheter Irrigation: Impedance-Based Appraisal in Clinical Ablation.

JACC. Clinical electrophysiology
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the impact of ablation power and catheter irrigation during clinical radiofrequency ablation using impedance drop.

A Pilot Randomized Trial of a Companion Robot for People With Dementia Living in the Community.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the affective, social, behavioral, and physiological effects of the companion robot Paro for people with dementia in both a day care center and a home setting.

Reliability of an automatic classifier for brain enlarged perivascular spaces burden and comparison with human performance.

Clinical science (London, England : 1979)
In the brain, enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) relate to cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), poor cognition, inflammation and hypertension. We propose a fully automatic scheme that uses a support vector machine (SVM) to classify the burden of PVS ...
