BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening complication commonly occurring after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with an increased risk of mortality. Traditional risk assessment tools lack precision in predicting VTE in AIS patients ...
Uric acid is a key metabolic byproduct of purine degradation and plays a dual role in human health. At physiological levels, it acts as an antioxidant, protecting against oxidative stress. However, excessive uric acid can lead to hyperuricemia, cont...
BACKGROUND: Depression has a detrimental effect on an individual's mental and musculoskeletal strength multiplying the risk of fall incidents. The current study aims to investigate the association between depression and falls in older adults using ma...
This study aimed to explore the combined impacts of occupational noise and dust on hearing and extra-auditory functions and identify associated risk factors via machine learning techniques. Data from 14,145 workers (627 with occupational noise-induce...
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescent girls is a critical predictor of subsequent depression and suicide risk, yet current tools lack both accuracy and clinical interpretability. We developed the first explainable machine learning model integ...
In hyperuricaemic populations, multiple factors may contribute to impaired renal function. This study aimed to establish a machine learning-based model to identify characteristic factors related to renal impairment in hyperuricaemic patients, determi...
PURPOSE: For patients suffering from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), several clinical, laboratory, and pathological features (including patient age, tumor size, extrathyroidal extension, or serum thyroglobulin levels) are currently used to ident...
Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are a doorway to downstream health consequences characterized by the following: 1) poor quality of life and diminished mobility; 2) increased likelihood of chronic disease risk factors and diagnoses; and, ultimately, 3) ...
BACKGROUND: The multifaceted issue of childhood stunting in low- and middle-income countries has a profound and enduring impact on children's well-being, cognitive development, and future earning potential. Childhood stunting arises from a complex in...
