AIMS: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of ablation for atrial fibrillation. Confirmation of PVI can be challenging due to the presence of far-field electrograms (EGMs) and sometimes requires additional pacing manoeuvres or mapping. T...
INTRODUCTION: Post-operative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older patients, with an incidence of 14-56%. To implement preventative procedures, it is necessary to identify patients at risk for POD. In the present study, we aimed to develop...
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This study aimed to establish novel multiclassification prediction models based on machine learning (ML) to predict the probability of malignancy in pulmonary nodules (PN...
PURPOSE: To assess the predictive capability of hematological inflammatory markers for urethral stricture recurrence after primary urethroplasty and to compare traditional statistical methods with a machine-learning-based artificial intelligence algo...

Computed tomography (CT) enables noninvasive diagnosis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), but enhanced image analyses are needed to overcome the limitations of visual assessment. Apply multiple instance learning (MIL) to develop an explainable ...
BACKGROUND: The prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the presence of cirrhosis is unfavourable, primarily attributable to the high incidence of recurrence.
BACKGROUND: Intravenous (IV) fluid contamination is a common cause of preanalytical error that can delay or misguide treatment decisions, leading to patient harm. Current approaches for detecting contamination rely on delta checks, which require a pr...
