Using machine learning to optimize selection of elderly patients for endovascular thrombectomy.

Journal of neurointerventional surgery
BACKGROUND: Endovascular thrombectomy (ET) is the standard of care for treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to large vessel occlusion. The elderly population has been under-represented in clinical trials on ET, and recent studies have r...

Using Machine Learning to Identify Change in Surgical Decision Making in Current Use of Damage Control Laparotomy.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: In an earlier study, we reported the successful reduction in the use of damage control laparotomy (DCL); however, no change in the relative frequencies of specific indications was observed. In this study, we aimed to use machine learning ...

Improving palliative care with deep learning.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Access to palliative care is a key quality metric which most healthcare organizations strive to improve. The primary challenges to increasing palliative care access are a combination of physicians over-estimating patient prognoses, and a ...

Defining Massive Transfusion in Civilian Pediatric Trauma With Traumatic Brain Injury.

The Journal of surgical research
The purpose of this study was to identify an optimal definition of massive transfusion in civilian pediatric trauma with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) METHODS: Severely injured children (age ≤18 y) with severe TBI in the Trauma Quality Improvem...

Applying Artificial Intelligence to Address the Knowledge Gaps in Cancer Care.

The oncologist
BACKGROUND: Rapid advances in science challenge the timely adoption of evidence-based care in community settings. To bridge the gap between what is possible and what is practiced, we researched approaches to developing an artificial intelligence (AI)...

A predictive model for high/low risk group according to oncotype DX recurrence score using machine learning.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND: Oncotype DX(ODX) is a 21-gene breast cancer recurrence score(RS) assay that aids in decision-making for chemotherapy in early-stage hormone receptor-positive(HR+)breast cancer. We developed a prediction tool using machine learning for hig...

Using artificial intelligence to predict prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy placement.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Early identification of critically ill patients who will require prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) has proven to be difficult. The purpose of this study was to use machine learning to identify patients at risk for PMV and tracheostom...

Randomized controlled trial of Amigo® robotically controlled versus manually controlled ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus using a contact force ablation catheter.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is a common treatment for atrial flutter (AFL). However, achieving bi-directional CTI conduction block may be difficult, partly due to catheter instability.
