OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of three metrics to monitor for a reduction in performance of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) model deployed at a pediatric hospital.
Analysis of landmark-based morphometric measurements taken on body parts of insects have been a useful taxonomic approach alongside DNA barcoding in insect identification. Statistical analysis of morphometrics have largely been dominated by tradition...
IMPORTANCE: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is one of the most complex operations in surgical oncology with significant morbidity, and improved risk prediction tools are critically needed. Machine learning models can potentially overcome the limitations ...
The ideal observer (IO) sets an upper performance limit among all observers and has been advocated for assessing and optimizing imaging systems. For general joint detection and estimation (detection-estimation) tasks, estimation ROC (EROC) analysis h...
Complex interrelationships between landscape-level geoenvironmental factors and natural phenomena have rendered land degradation control measures ineffective. For control to be effective, this study argues that the interactions between different geoe...
The decision-making of how to treat urinary infection stones was complicated by the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis of these stones. Hence, we developed machine learning (ML) models that can be leveraged to discriminate between infection and no...
BACKGROUND: Dynamic prediction of patient mortality risk in the ICU with time series data is limited due to high dimensionality, uncertainty in sampling intervals, and other issues. A new deep learning method, temporal convolution network (TCN), make...
BACKGROUND: This study aims to develop a machine learning-based application in a real-world medical domain to assist anesthesiologists in assessing the risk of complications in patients after a hip surgery.

BACKGROUND: Asthma exacerbations are triggered by a variety of clinical and environmental factors, but their relative impacts on exacerbation risk are unclear. There is a critical need to develop methods to identify children at high-risk for future e...
PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the usefulness of Zernike coefficients (ZCs) for distinguishing subclinical keratoconus (KC) from normal corneas and to evaluate the goodness of detection of the entire corneal topography and tomography characteristic...
