BACKGROUND: There is a dearth of literature regarding prognostic and predictive factors for outcome following pediatric decompressive craniectomy (DC) performed after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of this study was to develop a random forest ...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure combined with hypertension is a major contributor for elderly patients (≥ 65 years) to in-hospital mortality. However, there are very few models to predict in-hospital mortality in such elderly patients. We aimed to develop ...
OBJECTIVE: The objective was to establish a machine learning-based model for predicting the occurrence and mortality of nonpulmonary sepsis-associated ARDS.

OBJECTIVES: Most patients seen in physical therapy (PT) clinics for low back pain (LBP) are treated for chronic low back pain (CLBP), yet PT interventions suggest minimal effectiveness. The Cochrane Back Review Group proposed 'Holy Grail' questions, ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prognostication of overall survival (OS) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving definitive radiotherapy (RT) is crucial for developing personalized treatment strategies. This study aims to construct an interpre...

BACKGROUND: Subtle, prognostically important ECG features may not be apparent to physicians. In the course of supervised machine learning, thousands of ECG features are identified. These are not limited to conventional ECG parameters and morphology. ...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious prognostic complication in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Deep learning models can be applied to detect PH in the chest X-ray images of these patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the perf...
BACKGROUND: Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) have emerged as pivotal predictive biomarkers in determining prognosis and response to immunotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. While Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) stands as the gold standard for TMB...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Pancreatic cancer is lethal and prevalent among other cancer types. The recurrence of this tumor is high, especially in patients who did not receive adjuvant therapies. Early prediction of PC recurrence has a significant role in e...
Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a poor prognosis. The O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene methylation status is crucial for treatment stratification, yet economic constraints often limit access. This study aims to devel...
