Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 levels in children with aplastic anemia and its correlation with disease severity and response to immunosuppressive therapy.

Annals of African medicine
BACKGROUND: Aplastic anemia (AA) is an uncommon condition characterized by pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 have been shown to inhibit myelopoiesis and are major mediators of tissue damage. The primary goal of th...

A multistage multimodal deep learning model for disease severity assessment and early warnings of high-risk patients of COVID-19.

Frontiers in public health
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused massive infections and large death tolls worldwide. Despite many studies on the clinical characteristics and the treatment plans of COVID-19, they rarely conduct in-depth prognostic resea...

Assess the documentation of cognitive tests and biomarkers in electronic health records via natural language processing for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Cognitive tests and biomarkers are the key information to assess the severity and track the progression of Alzheimer's' disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD), yet, both are often only documented in clinical narratives of patient...

Recent advances in plant disease severity assessment using convolutional neural networks.

Scientific reports
In modern agricultural production, the severity of diseases is an important factor that directly affects the yield and quality of plants. In order to effectively monitor and control the entire production process of plants, not only the type of diseas...

Machine Learning Approaches to Predict Asthma Exacerbations: A Narrative Review.

Advances in therapy
The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques in healthcare has garnered significant attention in recent years, especially as a result of their potential to revolutionize personalized medicine. Despite advanc...

Deep learning-based fully automated grading system for dry eye disease severity.

PloS one
There is an increasing need for an objective grading system to evaluate the severity of dry eye disease (DED). In this study, a fully automated deep learning-based system for the assessment of DED severity was developed. Corneal fluorescein staining ...

Identifying low acuity Emergency Department visits with a machine learning approach: The low acuity visit algorithms (LAVA).

Health services research
OBJECTIVE: To improve the performance of International Classification of Disease (ICD) code rule-based algorithms for identifying low acuity Emergency Department (ED) visits by using machine learning methods and additional covariates.

Can artificial intelligence help ED nurses more accurately triage patients?

Nursing
The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is the most popular tool used to triage patients in the US and abroad. Evidence has shown that ESI has its limitations in correctly assigning acuity. To address this, AI can be incorporated into the triage process, ...

Managing low-acuity patients in an Emergency Department through simulation-based multiobjective optimization using a neural network metamodel.

Health care management science
This paper deals with Emergency Department (ED) fast-tracks for low-acuity patients, a strategy often adopted to reduce ED overcrowding. We focus on optimizing resource allocation in minor injuries units, which are theĀ ED units that can treat low-acu...

Machine learning outperforms the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) in predicting need for early critical care.

CJEM
STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the potential to improve emergency department (ED) triage using machine learning models by comparing their predictive performance with the Canadian Triage Acuity Scale (CTAS) in identifying the need for critic...
