BACKGROUND: Current ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation is suboptimal, and long-term response is challenging to predict. Clinical trials identify bedside properties that provide only modest prediction of long-term response in populations, while ...
Most patients with Crohn disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, experience recurrence despite treatment, including surgical resection. However, methods for predicting recurrence remain unclear. This study aimed to predict post...

Standardized fall risk scores have not proven to reliably predict falls in clinical settings. Machine Learning offers the potential to increase the accuracy of such predictions, possibly vastly improving care for patients at high fall risks. We devel...
BACKGROUND: Despite the high success rate associated with Heller myotomy in the treatment of primary achalasia, symptom persistence or relapse occurs in approximately 10-20% of patients. Unfortunately, the ideal treatment after failed myotomy is not ...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of our mesh fixation technique in robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (R-TAPP). The primary outcome was the recurrence rate. Secondary outcomes were postoperativ...

BACKGROUND: Depression (Major Depressive Disorder) is one of the most common mental illnesses. According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million people in the world are affected. A first depressive episode can be solved by a spontaneo...
Disability progression in multiple sclerosis remains resistant to treatment. The absence of a suitable biomarker to allow for phase 2 clinical trials presents a high barrier for drug development. We propose to enable short proof-of-concept trials by ...
BACKGROUND: Mucin depletion is one of the histological indicators of clinical relapse among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Mucin depletion is evaluated semiquantitatively by pathologists using histological images. Therefore, the interobserver...
