BACKGROUND: Severe primary (degenerative) mitral regurgitation (MR) is repaired with durable results when simple single-scallop disease is addressed. The midterm quality outcomes of minimally invasive repair for complex disease are unknown, however.
We investigate a new method to place patients into risk groups in censored survival data. Properties such as median survival time, and end survival rate, are implicitly improved by optimizing the area under the survival curve. Artificial neural netwo...
PURPOSE: Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is used after surgery to prevent recurrence or metastases. However, ACT for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still controversial. This study aimed to develop prediction models to distinguish who is suitable f...
BACKGROUND: The ability to provide accurate prognostic and predictive information to patients is becoming increasingly important as clinicians enter an era of personalized medicine. For a disease as heterogeneous as epithelial ovarian cancer, convent...
PURPOSE: Limited data are available regarding the oncologic efficacy of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) performed during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer. We aimed to determine the frequency of pelvic lymph n...
Biological outcomes are governed by multiple genetic and environmental factors that act in concert. Determining multifactor interactions is the primary topic of interest in recent genetics studies but presents enormous statistical and mathematical ch...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Diabetes is a chronic disease characterised by a high risk of developing diabetic nephropathy. The early identification of individuals at heightened risk of such complications or their exacerbation can be crucial to set a co...
BACKGROUND: In a wide range of diseases, it is necessary to utilize multiple data sources to obtain enough data for model training. However, performing centralized pooling of multiple data sources, while protecting each patients' sensitive data, can ...
Breast cancer (BC), one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide, lacks efficacious diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study harnesses multi-omics data to identify novel purine metabolism-related genes (PMRG) as potential bio...
