This study investigates the use of machine learning (ML) models combined with a Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) and its variants to predict perioperative pressure injuries (PIs) in an imbalanced dataset. PIs are a significant healt...
BACKGROUND: The relationship between cytokines and lung metastasis (LM) in breast cancer (BC) remains unclear and current clinical methods for identifying breast cancer lung metastasis (BCLM) lack precision, thus underscoring the need for an accurate...
BACKGROUND: Circulating cell-free RNA (cfRNA) is gaining recognition as an effective biomarker for the early detection of preeclampsia (PE). However, the current methods for selecting disease-specific biomarkers are often inefficient and typically on...
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease and represents a significant public health issue. Nevertheless, current risk stratification methods remain inadequate. The study aimed to use m...
BACKGROUND: Crisis hotlines serve as a crucial avenue for the early identification of suicide risk, which is of paramount importance for suicide prevention and intervention. However, assessing the risk of callers in the crisis hotline context is cons...
Early screening for cancer has proven to improve the survival rate and spare patients from intensive and costly treatments due to late diagnosis. Cancer screening in the healthy population involves an initial risk stratification step to determine the...
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is a highly heterogeneous disease, and the response of patients to clinical treatment varies substantially. There is no satisfactory strategy for predicting curative effects to date. We aimed to explore a new method fo...
BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) presents significant public health challenges due to its increasing prevalence and complex risk factors. This study systematically analyzed data from 2019 to 2023 to explore trends in MDD incidence, symptom...
A recent analysis of common stroke risk prediction models showed that performance differs between Black and White subgroups, and that applying standard machine learning methods does not reduce these disparities. There have been calls in the clinical ...
