Acute patient treatment can heavily profit from AI-based assistive and decision support systems, in terms of improved patient outcome as well as increased efficiency. Yet, only very few applications have been reported because of the limited accessibi...
BACKGROUND: Pythia is an automated, clinically curated surgical data pipeline and repository housing all surgical patient electronic health record (EHR) data from a large, quaternary, multisite health institute for data science initiatives. In an eff...
This paper presents a new neural network methodology for modelling of soft tissue deformation for surgical simulation. The proposed methodology formulates soft tissue deformation and its dynamics as the neural propagation and dynamics of cellular neu...
Although anaesthesiologists strive to avoid hypoxemia during surgery, reliably predicting future intraoperative hypoxemia is not currently possible. Here, we report the development and testing of a machine-learning-based system that, in real time dur...
Statistical techniques such as propensity score matching and instrumental variable are commonly employed to "simulate" randomization and adjust for measured confounders in comparative effectiveness research. Despite such adjustments, the results of t...
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that postoperative troponin release is a strong and independent predictor of short-term mortality. However, evaluating elevated troponins in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still controversial and ...
