BACKGROUND: The flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (F-URL) is an important treatment for upper urinary tract stones. However, urolithiasis, surgical procedures, and catheter placement are risk factors for fungal infections. Our study aimed to construc...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant risk associated with surgeries under general anesthesia, often leading to increased mortality and morbidity. Existing predictive models for postoperative AKI are usually limited to ...
BACKGROUND: Considering that most patients with low or no significant risk factors can safely undergo noncardiac surgery without additional cardiac evaluation, and given the excessive evaluations often performed in patients undergoing intermediate or...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to validate and optimize a machine learning algorithm for accurately predicting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, addressing limitations of traditional formulas, particularly in hypertriglyceridemia.
BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common and serious complication of diabetic mellitus (DM). More sensitive methods for early DKD prediction are urgently needed. This study aimed to set up DKD risk prediction models based on machine lear...
BACKGROUND: Little is known about acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD mortality based on the acute/subacute renal injury. This study develops machine learning...
UNLABELLED: This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for moderate to severe bleeding in children with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Data from 286 ITP patients were prospectively collected and randomly split into training (80%...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) impacts nearly 6 million individuals in the U.S., with a projected 46% increase by 2030, is creating significant healthcare burdens. Predictive models, particularly machine learning (ML)-based models, offer promising so...
Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
