BACKGROUND: Patients with severe coronary arterystenosis may present with apparently normal electrocardiograms (ECGs), making it difficult to detect adverse health conditions during routine screenings or physical examinations. Consequently, these pat...
BACKGROUND: The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been enormously damaging, in which prolonged shedding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, previously 2019-nCoV) infection is a challenge in the...
OBJECTIVE: Dementia is a significant medical and social issue in most developed countries. Practical tools for predicting the progression of degenerative dementia are highly valuable. Machine learning (ML) methods facilitate the construction of effec...
Body composition assessment is very useful for evaluating a patient's status in the clinic, but recognizing, labeling, and calculating the body compositions would be burdensome. This study aims to develop a web-based service that could automate calcu...
BACKGROUND: Given the complexity and diversity of lichenoid vulvar disease (LVD) risk factors, it is crucial to actively explore these factors and construct personalized warning models using relevant clinical variables to assess disease risk in patie...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disease, and its clinical type is classified according to the AF duration: paroxysmal AF, persistent AF (PeAF; AF duration of less than 1 year), and long-standing persistent AF (AF duration of mor...
BACKGROUND: Accurate hospital length of stay (LoS) prediction enables efficient resource management. Conventional LoS prediction models with limited covariates and nonstandardized data have limited reproducibility when applied to the general populati...
