BACKGROUND: In order to proactively manage congestive heart failure (CHF) patients, an effective CHF case finding algorithm is required to process both structured and unstructured electronic medical records (EMR) to allow complementary and cost-effic...
For years, we have relied on population surveys to keep track of regional public health statistics, including the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Because of the cost and limitations of such surveys, we often do not have the up-to-date data o...
BACKGROUND: Easy-to-collect epidemiological information is critical for the more accurate estimation of the prevalence and burden of different non-communicable diseases around the world. Current measurement is restricted by limitations in existing me...

INTRODUCTION: We compare the results of modern external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT), using combined androgen deprivation and dose-escalated intensity-modulated radiotherapy with MRI-CT fusion and daily image guidance with fiducial markers (DE-IG-IMRT), ...
PURPOSE: The surge of treatments for COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020 had a low prevalence of treatment and high outcome risk. Motivated by that, we conducted a simulation study comparing disease risk scores (DRS) and propensity scores (PS) usi...
The prevalence of hearing loss (HL) has emerged as an escalating public health concern globally. The objective of this study was to leverage data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) to develop an interpretable predict...
This study systematically examined the impact of three feature selection techniques (Boruta, Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and Lasso) for optimizing four machine learning models (Random forest (RF), XGBoost, Logistic regression (LR), and Suppo...
Postnatal growth faltering (PGF) significantly affects premature neonates, leading to compromised neurodevelopment and an increased risk of long-term health complications. This retrospective study at a level III NICU of a tertiary hospital analyzed...
Heavy metal exposure is acknowledged as a risk factor for poor health. However, the effect of heavy metal exposure on the prevalence of gallstones is still unknown. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between heavy metal concentrations and th...
