UNLABELLED: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) decreases delayed graft function (DGF) and improves 1-year graft survival in expanded criteria donors (ECDs). Time of HMP could be associated with incidence of DGF.
BACKGROUND: Based on international diagnostic guidelines, high-resolution CT plays a central part in the diagnosis of fibrotic lung disease. In the correct clinical context, when high-resolution CT appearances are those of usual interstitial pneumoni...
OBJECTIVES: To train and compare machine-learning algorithms with traditional regression analysis for the prediction of early biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted prostatectomy.
Advanced regression and machine learning models can provide personalized risk predictions to support clinical decision-making. We aimed to understand whether modeling methods impact the tendency of calibration to deteriorate as patient populations sh...
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are computing architectures with many interconnections of simple neural-inspired computing elements, and have been applied to biomedical fields such as imaging analysis and diagnosis. We have developed a new ANN frame...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current prognostic models for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients are solely based on staging information. Treatment-related data have not been included to date. Including such information, however, could help to improve these ...
Additional value can be potentially created by applying big data tools to address pharmacometric problems. The performances of machine learning (ML) methods and the Cox regression model were evaluated based on simulated time-to-event data synthesized...
BACKGROUND: Medical practitioners use survival models to explore and understand the relationships between patients' covariates (e.g. clinical and genetic features) and the effectiveness of various treatment options. Standard survival models like the ...
BACKGROUND: Patients with kidney disease are more likely to develop atrial fibrillation (AF) than individuals with normal renal function, and more likely to suffer ischemic stroke (IS)/thromboembolism (TE). We investigated the relationship of kidney ...
