OBJECTIVE: This study validated the artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm LuxIA for screening more-than-mild diabetic retinopathy (mtmDR) from a single 45° colour fundus image of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM, type 1 or type 2) in Spain....
AIMS: Studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic found high occurrence of suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STBs) among healthcare workers (HCWs). The current study aimed to (1) develop a machine learning-based prediction model for future STBs us...
INTRODUCTION: Accurate identification of graft loss in Electronic Medical Records of kidney transplant recipients is essential but challenging due to inconsistent and not mandatory International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. We developed an...
This study presents an innovative approach to high-resolution land cover classification using deep learning, tackling the challenge of working with an exceptionally small dataset. Manual annotation of land cover data is both time-consuming and labor-...
BACKGROUND: The exposome framework seeks to unravel the cumulated effects of environmental exposures on health. However, existing methods struggle with challenges including multicollinearity, non-linearity and confounding. To address these limitation...
The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the importance of mathematical epidemic models like the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model, for understanding disease spread dynamics. However, enhancing their predictive accuracy complicates parameter es...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Obesity is a global health issue, and in this context, bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for severe cases. However, postoperative outcomes vary widely among individuals, driving the development of too...
BACKGROUND: Remdesivir (RDV) was the first antiviral approved for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and for those patients at risk for progression to severe disease after clinical trials supported its association with improved outcomes. Real-world evidence (...
