Survival analysis plays a pivotal role in healthcare, particularly in analyzing time-to-event data such as in disease progression, treatment efficacy, and drug development. Traditional methods in survival analysis often face a trade-off: they either ...
BACKGROUND: Diabetics constitute a significant percentage of hemodialysis (HD) patients with higher mortality, especially among male patients. A machine learning algorithm was used to optimize the prediction of time to death in male diabetic hemodial...
BACKGROUND: An ideal lung allocation system should reduce waiting list deaths, improve transplant survival, and ensure equitable organ allocation. This study aimed to develop a novel lung allocation score (LAS) system, the MaxBenefit LAS, to maximize...
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is difficult to detect early and highly aggressive, often leading to poor patient prognosis. Existing serum biomarkers like CA19-9 are limited in early diagnosis, failing to meet clinical needs. Mac...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and NAFLD share multiple common risk factors. Life's Crucial 9 (LC9), a novel indicator for comprehensive assessment of card...

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is an important but difficult to obtain measure of arterial stiffness and an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. The objective of this study was to develop a predictive ...
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is an increasingly popular framework for the estimation of causal effects. It requires modeling both the exposure and outcome but is doubly robust in the sense that it is valid if at least one of these mo...
High-throughput sequencing technologies have facilitated a deeper exploration of prognostic biomarkers. While many deep learning (DL) methods primarily focus on feature extraction or employ simplistic fully connected layers within prognostic modules,...
BACKGROUND: Over the years, various models, including both traditional and machine learning models, have been employed to predict survival probabilities for diverse survival datasets. The objective is to obtain models that provide more accurate estim...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is associated with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Topology may improve the predictive performance and interpretability of deep learning (DL). We aimed to develop and externally valida...
