BACKGROUND: Post-operative moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with poor outcomes, yet the factors contributing to this complication are not well understood. This study ai...
Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are highly susceptible to sepsis. This study evaluates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) models in predicting sepsis risk in intensive care units (ICUs) patients with ICH. We conducted a retrospective ...
BACKGROUND: The prediction of mortality for elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries is a vital research area, as accurate risk assessment can help surgeons make better clinical decisions during the perioperative period. This study aims to b...
BACKGROUND: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and glycemic variability (GV) reflect acute glucose elevation and fluctuations, which correlate with adverse outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the prognosti...
BACKGROUND: Suicide poses a substantial public health challenge globally, with the elderly population being particularly vulnerable. Research into suicide risk factors among elderly inpatients with non-psychiatric disorders remains limited. This inve...
The study aimed to develop a predictive model using machine learning algorithms, providing healthcare professionals with a novel tool for assessing disability risk in older adults. Data from the 2018 and 2020 waves of the China Health and Retirement ...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes has emerged as a critical global public health crisis. Prediabetes, as the transitional phase with 5%-10% annual progression to diabetes, offers a critical window for intervention. The lack of a 5-year risk prediction model for d...
This study aimed to demonstrate whether plasma galectin-3 could predict the development of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). Prospective, observational study. Cardiac surgery intensive care unit. Consecutive...
Heavy metal exposure is acknowledged as a risk factor for poor health. However, the effect of heavy metal exposure on the prevalence of gallstones is still unknown. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between heavy metal concentrations and th...
