Unplanned readmission within 30 days is a major challenge both globally and in South Africa. The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning model to predict unplanned surgical and trauma readmission to a public hospital in South Africa from ...
: Liver cancer ranks among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality, necessitating the development of novel diagnostic methods. Deregulated lipid metabolism, a hallmark of hepatocarcinogenesis, offers compelling prospects for biomarker identifi...
BACKGROUND: This study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze computed tomography (CT) scans with the aim of differentiating among renal tumors according to histologic sub-type.
Leprosy is a dermatoneurological disease and can cause irreversible nerve damage. In addition to being able to mimic different rheumatological, neurological and dermatological diseases, leprosy is underdiagnosed because several professionals present ...
OBJECTIVE: This study developed and validated a stacked ensemble machine learning model to predict the risk of acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis complicated by sepsis.
BACKGROUND: The atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is associated with dementia. However, the risk factors of dementia in patients with ASCVD remain unclear, necessitating the development of accurate prediction models.
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is an organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Early detection is fundamental to improving the patient outcome. Laboratory medicine can play a crucial role by providing biomarkers whose alteration can ...
BACKGROUND: Agitation and sedation management is critical in intensive care as it affects patient safety. Traditional nursing assessments suffer from low frequency and subjectivity. Automating these assessments can boost intensive care unit (ICU) eff...
