Viral testing for pediatric inpatients with respiratory symptoms is common, with considerable associated charges. In an attempt to reduce testing volumes, we studied whether data available at the time of admission could aid in identifying children wi...
PURPOSE: In intensive care unit (ICU) patients in whom bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed for suspected infectious pulmonary disease, we investigated the association of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the BALF with lung injury and patient...
The clinical manifestations of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI) exhibit significant similarities. We aim to develop cost-efficient models for IM in children utilizing the Shapley Additive explanation (SHAP) ...
