Deep Learning Predicts Total Knee Replacement from Magnetic Resonance Images.

Scientific reports
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in the United States. When diagnosed at early stages, lifestyle interventions such as exercise and weight loss can slow OA progression, but at later stages, only an invasive option is avai...

Exploring healthcare professionals' understanding and experiences of artificial intelligence technology use in the delivery of healthcare: An integrative review.

Health informatics journal
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our digital healthcare system is seen as a significant strategy to contain Australia's rising healthcare costs, support clinical decision making, manage chronic disease burden and suppo...

Long-term mesh erosion rate following abdominal robotic reconstructive pelvic floor surgery: a prospective study and overview of the literature.

International urogynecology journal
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The use of synthetic mesh in transvaginal pelvic floor surgery has been subject to debate internationally. Although mesh erosion appears to be less associated with an abdominal approach, the long-term outcome has not been...

Machine learning methods for developing precision treatment rules with observational data.

Behaviour research and therapy
Clinical trials have identified a variety of predictor variables for use in precision treatment protocols, ranging from clinical biomarkers and symptom profiles to self-report measures of various sorts. Although such variables are informative collect...

A comparison of machine learning algorithms and covariate balance measures for propensity score matching and weighting.

Biometrical journal. Biometrische Zeitschrift
Propensity score matching (PSM) and propensity score weighting (PSW) are popular tools to estimate causal effects in observational studies. We address two open issues: how to estimate propensity scores and assess covariate balance. Using simulations,...

Estimating the Population Average Treatment Effect in Observational Studies with Choice-Based Sampling.

The international journal of biostatistics
We consider causal inference in observational studies with choice-based sampling, in which subject enrollment is stratified on treatment choice. Choice-based sampling has been considered mainly in the econometrics literature, but it can be useful for...

Machine learning in whole-body MRI: experiences and challenges from an applied study using multicentre data.

Clinical radiology
Machine learning is now being increasingly employed in radiology to assist with tasks such as automatic lesion detection, segmentation, and characterisation. We are currently involved in an National Institute of Health Research (NIHR)-funded project,...

Using classification tree analysis to generate propensity score weights.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: In evaluating non-randomized interventions, propensity scores (PS) estimate the probability of assignment to the treatment group given observed characteristics. Machine learning algorithms have been proposed as an alte...

Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Causal Inference in Observational Studies.

American journal of epidemiology
Estimation of causal effects using observational data continues to grow in popularity in the epidemiologic literature. While many applications of causal effect estimation use propensity score methods or G-computation, targeted maximum likelihood esti...

Using machine learning to assess covariate balance in matching studies.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
In order to assess the effectiveness of matching approaches in observational studies, investigators typically present summary statistics for each observed pre-intervention covariate, with the objective of showing that matching reduces the difference ...
