A Machine Learning-Based Prognostication Model Enhances Prediction of Early Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients With Noncancer-Related Cirrhosis: Multicenter Longitudinal Cohort Study in Taiwan.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) contributes significantly to mortality among patients with liver cirrhosis. Early prediction of HE is essential for clinical decision-making, yet remains challenging-particularly in noncancer-related cirrhosis ...

Predicting 14-day readmission in middle-aged and elderly patients with pneumonia using emergency department data: a multicentre retrospective cohort study with a survival machine learning approach.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: Unplanned pneumonia readmissions increase patient morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Among pneumonia patients, the middle-aged and elderly (≥45 years old) have a significantly higher risk of readmission compared with the young. Gi...

Artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis and prognostication in low ejection fraction using electrocardiograms in inpatient department: a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

BMC medicine
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of low ejection fraction (EF) remains challenging despite being a treatable condition. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an electrocardiogram (ECG)-based artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted clinical decis...

Type 2 Diabetes in Taiwan: Unmasking Influential Factors Through Advanced Predictive Modeling.

Journal of diabetes research
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is influenced by lifestyle, genetics, and environmental conditions. By utilizing machine learning techniques, we can enhance the precision of T2D risk prediction by analyzing the complex interactions among these variables. This...

Investigating long-term risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection from fluoroquinolones and the key contributing factors using machine learning methods.

Scientific reports
The connection between fluoroquinolones and severe heart conditions, such as aortic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD), has been acknowledged, but the full extent of long-term risks remains uncertain. Addressing this knowledge deficit, a retros...

Machine learning models to predict osteoporosis in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3-5 and end-stage kidney disease.

Scientific reports
Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and it increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This study aimed to develop predictive m...

Automated Whole-Liver Fat Quantification with Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Derived Proton Density Fat Fraction Map: A Prospective Study in Taiwan.

Gut and liver
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a proton density fat fraction (PDFF) sequence is the most accurate, noninvasive method for assessing hepatic steatosis. However, manual measurement on the PDFF map is time-consuming. This study a...

Estimating Tea Plant Physiological Parameters Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Imagery and Machine Learning Algorithms.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tea ( L.) holds agricultural economic value and forestry carbon sequestration potential, with Taiwan's annual tea production exceeding TWD 7 billion. However, climate change-induced stressors threaten tea plant growth, photosynthesis, yield, and qual...

Performance of ChatGPT-4 on Taiwanese Traditional Chinese Medicine Licensing Examinations: Cross-Sectional Study.

JMIR medical education
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), notably ChatGPT, into medical education, has shown promising results in various medical fields. Nevertheless, its efficacy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) examinations remains underst...

Real-world insights of patient voices with age-related macular degeneration in the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: an AI-based Digital Listening study by Semantic-Natural Language Processing.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In this era of active online communication, patients increasingly share their healthcare experiences, concerns, and needs across digital platforms. Leveraging these vast repositories of real-world information, Digital Listening enables th...
