BACKGROUND: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common nosocomial infection in ICU, significantly associated with poor outcomes. However, there is currently a lack of reliable and interpretable tools for assessing the risk of in-hospital morta...
OBJECTIVE: The 2-fold objective of this research is to investigate machine learning's (ML) predictive value for the incidence of depression among China's older adult population and to determine the noteworthy aspects resulting in depression.

BACKGROUND: Around 7% of the global population has congenital hemoglobin disorders, with over 300,000 new cases of α-thalassemia annually. Diagnosis is costly and inaccurate in low-income regions, often relying on complete blood count (CBC) tests. Th...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest a connection between immunoglobulin light chains (IgLCs) and coronary heart disease (CHD). However, current diagnostic methods using peripheral blood IgLCs levels or subtype ratios show limited accuracy for CHD, lac...
In recent years, large amounts of researches showed that pulmonary embolism (PE) has become a common disease, and PE remains a clinical challenge because of its high mortality, high disability, high missed and high misdiagnosed rates. To address this...
PURPOSE: Epidemiologic studies are important in assessing risk factors of mortality. Machine learning (ML) is efficient in analyzing multidimensional data to unravel dependencies between risk factors and health outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by symptoms such as hyperandrogenemia, oligo or anovulation and polycystic ovarian, significantly impacting quality o...
This study aims to construct and validate noninvasive diagnosis models for evaluating significant liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). A cohort of 259 CHB patients were selected as research subjects. Through random grouping, 182...
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with high mortality rates and often results in prolonged hospital stays. The potential of machine learning to enhance prediction accuracy in this context is significant, yet clinicians often lack the p...
