BACKGROUND: Hip fractures are associated with reduced mobility, and higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Approximately 90% of hip fractures in the elderly are associated with osteoporosis, making it particularly important to screen the ...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the performance of five machine learning algorithms to predict diabetes mellitus based on lifestyle factors (diet and physical activity).
BACKGROUND: Severe pneumonia has a poor prognosis and high mortality. Current severity scores such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), have limited ability to help clinicians i...
OBJECTIVES: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) present similar symptoms in the early stage, complicating their differentiation. This study aims to develop a classification model using radiomic features from MRI T2-w...
