BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has become an increasingly popular alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, offering benefits such as motion preservation and reduced risk of adjacent segment disease. Despite its ad...
INTRODUCTION: Body mass index (BMI) is inadequately recorded in US administrative claims databases. We aimed to validate the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of BMI-related diagnosis codes using an electronic medical records (EMR) clai...
BACKGROUND: The optimal number of lymph nodes to be dissected during lung cancer surgery to minimise the postoperative recurrence risk remains undetermined. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of the number of dissected lymph nodes on the risk o...
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in COVID-19 incidence and outcomes have been widely reported. Non-Hispanic Black patients endured worse outcomes disproportionately compared with non-Hispanic White patients, but the epidemiological basis for these obse...
BACKGROUND: Cerebral hemorrhage is a critical medical condition that necessitates a rapid and precise diagnosis for timely medical intervention, including emergency operation. Computed tomography (CT) is essential for identifying cerebral hemorrhage,...
Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to develop and validate machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the 30-day and 6-month risk of deteriorating functional status following surgical treatment for thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS). We aimed to...
BACKGROUND: Unlike in adult and pediatric patients, the usefulness of lactate in preterm infants has not been thoroughly discussed. This study aimed to evaluate whether the lactate level in the first hours of life is an important factor associated wi...
