Risk factors and predictive model construction for lower extremity arterial disease in diabetic patients.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: To understand the prevalence and associated risk factors of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in Chinese diabetic patients and to construct a risk prediction model.

Utilising causal inference methods to estimate effects and strategise interventions in observational health data.

PloS one
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evaluating health interventions but often face ethical and practical challenges. When RCTs are not feasible, large observational data sets emerge as a pivotal resource, though these data s...

Cerebral compliance assessment from intracranial pressure waveform analysis: Is a positional shift-related increase in intracranial pressure predictable?

PloS one
Real-time monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is a routine part of neurocritical care in the management of brain injury. While mainly used to detect episodes of intracranial hypertension, the ICP signal is also indicative of the volume-pressure...

Ascertaining provider-level implicit bias in electronic health records with rules-based natural language processing: A pilot study in the case of prostate cancer.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Implicit, unconscious biases in medicine are personal attitudes about race, ethnicity, gender, and other characteristics that may lead to discriminatory patterns of care. However, there is no consensus on whether implicit bias represents a t...

Assessing the value of deep neural networks for postoperative complication prediction in pancreaticoduodenectomy patients.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications (PoCs) and risk prediction of these is therefore critical for optimal treatment plannin...

Attention-based image segmentation and classification model for the preoperative risk stratification of thyroid nodules.

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Despite widespread use of standardized classification systems, risk stratification of thyroid nodules is nuanced and often requires diagnostic surgery. Genomic sequencing is available for this dilemma however, costs and access restricts g...

Integration of Optical Coherence Tomography Images and Real-Life Clinical Data for Deep Learning Modeling: A Unified Approach in Prognostication of Diabetic Macular Edema.

Journal of biophotonics
The primary ocular effect of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is associated with diabetic microangiopathy. Diabetic macular edema (DME) can cause vision loss for people with DR. For this reason, deciding on the appropriate treatment and f...

Estimating cardiovascular mortality in patients with hypertension using machine learning: The role of depression classification based on lifestyle and physical activity.

Journal of psychosomatic research
PURPOSE: This study aims to harness machine learning techniques, particularly the Random Survival Forest (RSF) model, to assess the impact of depression on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among hypertensive patients. A key objective is to eluc...
