A retrospective cohort study using machine learning to predict coronary artery lesions in children with Kawasaki disease.

BMC pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) mainly occurs in children under 5 years old, and the most common complication of KD is coronary artery lesion (CAL). In recent years, the incidence rate of KD has increased year by year worldwide, so it is particular...

Machine learning-based high-benefit approach versus traditional high-risk approach in statin therapy: the Shizuoka Kokuho database study.

Scientific reports
Statins are widely prescribed for the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, yet individual responses vary, necessitating personalized treatment strategies. Conventional approaches prioritize treating high-risk patients, but advancements in m...

Improving ACS prediction in T2DM patients by addressing false records in electronic medical records using propensity score.

Scientific reports
Our study aims to improve the prediction performance of machine learning (ML) models by addressing false records (i.e., false positive, false negative, or missingness) in binary categorical variables in electronic medical records (EMRs) using propens...

Association between fibrinogen levels and prognosis in critically bleeding patients: exploration of the optimal therapeutic threshold.

European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society
BACKGROUND: Severe bleeding is a leading cause of ICU admission and mortality. Fibrinogen plays a crucial role in prognosis, yet optimal thresholds and supplementation targets remain unclear.

Options for postoperative radiation therapy in patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer.

Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND: Although meta-analyses have demonstrated survival benefits associated with primary tumor resection in MBC, guidelines lack consensus on the survival benefit of postoperative radiation therapy (RT).

Updated perspectives on visceral pleural invasion in non-small cell lung cancer: A propensity score-matched analysis of the SEER database.

Current problems in cancer
BACKGROUND: Visceral pleural invasion (VPI), including PL1 (the tumor invades beyond the elastic layer) and PL2 (the tumor extends to the surface of the visceral pleura), plays a crucial role in staging Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). However, th...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training within 1 week after stroke onset on degree of gait independence in individuals with hemiparesis: a propensity score-matched analysis in a single-center cohort study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective method for treating gait disorders in individuals with stroke. However, no previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of RAGT in individuals with acute stroke. This study aimed...

Development and evaluation of a multivariable prediction model for overall survival in advanced stage pulmonary carcinoid using machine learning.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND: Evidence is limited on whether patients with advanced pulmonary carcinoid (APC) benefit from comprehensive pulmonary resection (CPR), chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Existing prognostic models for APC are limited and do not guide treatment...

Impact of Sepsis Onset Timing on All-Cause Mortality in Acute Pancreatitis: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

Journal of intensive care medicine
BackgroundSepsis complicates acute pancreatitis (AP), increasing mortality risk. Few studies have examined how sepsis and its onset timing affect mortality in AP. This study evaluates the association between sepsis occurrence and all-cause mortality ...

Causal Machine Learning for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.

JACC. Clinical electrophysiology
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative to lifelong anticoagulation, but optimal patient selection remains challenging.
