Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are common complications that impact patient outcomes and strain healthcare resources. The Braden Scale is the standard tool for assessing HAPI risk, but it has limitations, including a high false-positive ...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a generalizable and accurate method for automatically analyzing wound images captured in clinical practice and extracting key wound characteristics such as surface area measurement.
This study investigates the use of machine learning (ML) models combined with a Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) and its variants to predict perioperative pressure injuries (PIs) in an imbalanced dataset. PIs are a significant healt...
INTRODUCTION: Wound care is an essential discipline in plastic surgery, especially as the prevalence of chronic wounds, such as pressure injuries, is increasing. The escalating volume of patient data and the numerous variables influencing wound outco...
