BACKGROUND: Brucellosis is known as the major zoonotic disease. We aimed to compare the performance of some data-mining models in predicting the monthly brucellosis cases in Iran.
Digital care management programs can reduce health care costs and improve quality of care. However, it is unclear how to target patients who are most likely to benefit from these programs ex ante, a shortcoming of current "risk score"-based approache...
BACKGROUND: Reported data regarding the relation between the incidence of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and weather conditions are conflicting and do so far not allow prognostic models.
Obstetric ultrasound examination of physiological parameters has been mainly used to estimate the fetal weight during pregnancy and baby weight before labour to monitor fetal growth and reduce prenatal morbidity and mortality. However, the problem is...
