BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is associated with worse prognosis in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) patients. This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to preoperatively predict LNM in BUC patients treated wit...
BACKGROUND: Nottingham histological grade (NHG) is a well established prognostic factor in breast cancer histopathology but has a high inter-assessor variability with many tumours being classified as intermediate grade, NHG2. Here, we evaluate if Dee...
The size and axial alignment of prostheses, when planned during total knee replacement (TKA) are critical for recovery of knee function and improvement of knee pain symptoms. This research aims to study the effect of artificial intelligence (AI)-base...
BACKGROUND: This study evaluates the efficacy of integrating MRI deep transfer learning, radiomic signatures, and clinical variables to accurately preoperatively differentiate between stage T2 and T3 rectal cancer.
BACKGROUND: The solid pattern is a highly malignant subtype of lung adenocarcinoma. In the current era of transitioning from lobectomy to sublobar resection for the surgical treatment of small lung cancers, preoperative identification of this subtype...

BACKGROUND: The increasing use of kidneys from elderly donors raises concerns due to age-related nephron loss. Combined with nephrectomy, this loss of nephrons markedly increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed t...
PURPOSE: To evaluate various supervised machine learning (ML) statistical models to predict anatomical outcomes after macular hole (MH) surgery using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) features.
BACKGROUND: Recent research has revealed the potential value of machine learning (ML) models in improving prognostic prediction for patients with trauma. ML can enhance predictions and identify which factors contribute the most to posttraumatic morta...

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have malignant potential, and treatment varies according to risk. However, no specific protocols exist for preoperative assessment of the malignant potential of gastric GISTs (gGISTs). This study ai...
PURPOSE: We aimed to use a validated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to extract muscle and adipose areas from CT images before radical cystectomy (RCx) and then correlate these measures with 90-day post-RCx complications.
