Randomized controlled trial of Amigo® robotically controlled versus manually controlled ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus using a contact force ablation catheter.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is a common treatment for atrial flutter (AFL). However, achieving bi-directional CTI conduction block may be difficult, partly due to catheter instability.

Harnessing electronic medical records to advance research on multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
BACKGROUND: Electronic medical records (EMR) data are increasingly used in research, but no studies have yet evaluated similarity between EMR and research-quality data and between characteristics of an EMR multiple sclerosis (MS) population and known...

An ensemble boosting model for predicting transfer to the pediatric intensive care unit.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Early deterioration indicators have the potential to alert hospital care staff in advance of adverse events, such as patients requiring an increased level of care, or the need for rapid response teams to be called. Our work focuses on the...
