BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) frequently coexist, exacerbating disease progression and increasing hospital readmission risk. Accurate prediction of readmission in HF patients with DM remains a clinical challenge. This stud...
PURPOSE: This study aims to develop and evaluate machine learning (ML) models to predict the likelihood of hospital readmission within 30 days after discharge for patients with heart failure (HF). The goal is to compare the predictive accuracy of ML ...
BACKGROUND: The Outpatient Arthroplasty Risk Assessment (OARA) Score was developed to risk-stratify patients for safe same-day discharge outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA). It has demonstrated predictive ability for length of stay in primary T...
BACKGROUND: Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) and revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) are among the most resource-intensive orthopaedic procedures. The primary aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of machine learning models between ...
