Chronic airway diseases are characterized by airway inflammation, obstruction, and remodeling and show high prevalence, especially in developing countries. Among them, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) show the highest morbidity...
OBJECTIVE: At present, there is no consensus on the best strategy for interpreting the cardiopulmonary exercise test's (CPET) results. This study is aimed at assessing the potential of using computer-aided algorithms to evaluate CPET data for identif...
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization has projected that by 2030, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will be the third-leading cause of mortality and the seventh-leading cause of morbidity worldwide. Acute exacerbations of chronic obstr...
IMPORTANCE: Quality improvement programs for colorectal cancer surgery have been introduced with benchmarking based on quality indicators, such as mortality. Detailed (pre)operative characteristics may offer relevant information for proper case-mix c...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) approach to extract rich information from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

PURPOSE: The main objective of this study was to utilize an artificial neural network in an exploratory fashion to predict self-management behaviors based on reported symptoms in a sample of stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...
OBJECTIVE: Mortality following surgical resection of spinal tumors is a devastating outcome. Naïve Bayes machine learning algorithms may be leveraged in surgical planning to predict mortality. In this investigation, we use a Naïve Bayes classificatio...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a life-threatening lung disease, affecting millions of people worldwide. Implementation of Machine Learning (ML) techniques is crucial for the effective management of COPD in home-care environments. How...
