BACKGROUND: Low-cost/no-cost non-contrast CT calcium scoring (CTCS) exams can provide direct evidence of coronary atherosclerosis. In this study, using features from CTCS images, we developed a novel machine learning model to predict obstructive coro...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to develop a combined model based on proximal femur attenuation values and radiomics features at routine CT to predict hip fragility fracture using machine learning methods.

BACKGROUND: Respiratory diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) often coexist, with airflow obstruction (AO) severity closely linked to CVD incidence and mortality. As both conditions rise, early identification and intervention in risk populations...

INTRODUCTION: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a leading cause of acute liver failure. Hepatotoxicity typically occurs only in a subset of individuals after prolonged exposure and constitutes a major risk factor for the termination of drug develop...

BACKGROUND: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 30 days following noncardiac surgery are prognostically relevant. Accurate prediction of risk and modifiable risk factors for postoperative MACEs is critical for surgical planning and pat...
Accurate identification of individuals at high risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among chronic heart failure (CHF) patients is crucial for reducing rehospitalization and mortality rates. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learn...
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is a relatively new and technically challenging procedure that carries a non-negligible risk of complications. Risk prediction tools may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited. We developed...
BACKGROUND: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a serious threat to human health, with high morbidity and mortality rates, imposing a heavy burden on the health care system and society. With the abundance of medical data and the rapid development of machi...
BACKGROUND: Although recreational drug use is a strong risk factor for acute cardiovascular events, systematic testing is currently not performed in patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units, with a risk of underdetection. To address this iss...
BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis, affecting over 200 million people worldwide. The incidence of PAD is increasing due to the aging population. Common risk factors include smoking, diabetes, an...
