Predicting stunting status among under five children in ethiopia using ensemblemachine learning algorithms.

Scientific reports
Childhood stunting is a persistent public health challenge in Ethiopia, significantly impacting children's physical growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. This study overcame a key limitation in previous stunting prediction models by ...

Biomarker panels for improved risk prediction and enhanced biological insights in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Nature communications
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, yet the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluate a panel of 12 circulating biomarkers representing diverse pathophysiological pathways in 3817 AF patien...

Association between atherogenic index of plasma and hypertension combined with diabetes mellitus in United States adults: an analysis of the NHANES surveys from 2011 to 2016.

Journal of health, population, and nutrition
INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have indicated that individuals with hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) tend to exhibit elevated plasma atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), defined as log (triglyceride [TG]/high-density lipoprotein chole...

Evaluation and analysis of risk factors for fractured vertebral recompression post-percutaneous kyphoplasty: a retrospective cohort study based on logistic regression analysis.

BMC musculoskeletal disorders
BACKGROUND: Vertebral recompression after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) may lead to recurrent pain, deformity, and neurological impairment, compromising prognosis and quality of life.

COVID-19 risk stratification among older adults: a machine learning approach to identify personal and health-related risk factors.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to understand factors influencing individuals' risk perceptions and health behaviors. This study aimed to explore the roles of individuals' knowledge, perception, and health-related issues in det...

The application and predictive value of the weight-adjusted-waist index in BC prevalence assessment: a comprehensive statistical and machine learning analysis using NHANES data.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a known risk factor for breast cancer (BC), but conventional metrics such as body mass index (BMI) may insufficiently capture central adiposity. The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) has emerged as a potentially superior anthro...

Relative importance of socioecological domains to predicting opioid-involved mortality.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The opioid crisis in the United States is a complex issue with interconnected factors that lead to opioid misuse and opioid-involved mortality. This study assessed the relative importance of different risk factor domains in predicting fat...

Identification of age-specific risk factors for hyperuricemia: a machine learning-driven stratified analysis in health examination cohorts.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia (HUA) as a global public health challenge, although its overall epidemiological characteristics have been widely reported, its age-specific risk pattern remains controversial. This study aims to reveal the risk factors of HU...

Primary prevention cardiovascular disease risk prediction model for contemporary Chinese (1°P-CARDIAC): Model derivation and validation using a hybrid statistical and machine-learning approach.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in China and worldwide while we are lacking in validated primary prevention model specifically for Chinese. To identify CVD high-risk individuals for early inter...

Development and validation of machine learning-based risk prediction models for ICU-acquired weakness: a prospective cohort study.

European journal of medical research
BACKGROUND: Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a prevalent complication in critically ill patients, marked by symmetrical respiratory and limb muscle weakness, which adversely affects long-term outcomes. Early identification of hi...
