Predicting early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very-low birth weight preterm infants: a nationwide, multicenter study using machine learning.

Scientific reports
Our aim was to develop a machine learning-based predictor for early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very-low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants in Taiwan. We collected retrospective data from VLBW infants, dividing them int...

Pain prediction model based on machine learning and SHAP values for elders with dementia in Taiwan.

International journal of medical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Pain conditions are common in elderly individuals, including those with dementia. However, symptoms associated with dementia may lead to poor recognition, assessment and management of pain. In this study, we incorporated the variables b...

Enhancing pneumonia prognosis in the emergency department: a novel machine learning approach using complete blood count and differential leukocyte count combined with CURB-65 score.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Pneumonia poses a major global health challenge, necessitating accurate severity assessment tools. However, conventional scoring systems such as CURB-65 have inherent limitations. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising approach for pred...

Personalised prediction of maintenance dialysis initiation in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-5: a multicentre study using the machine learning approach.

BMJ health & care informatics
BACKGROUND: Optimal timing for initiating maintenance dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 is challenging. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for early personalised prediction of mainte...

An ensemble model for predicting dispositions of emergency department patients.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
OBJECTIVE: The healthcare challenge driven by an aging population and rising demand is one of the most pressing issues leading to emergency department (ED) overcrowding. An emerging solution lies in machine learning's potential to predict ED disposit...

Prediction of high-risk emergency department revisits from a machine-learning algorithm: a proof-of-concept study.

BMJ health & care informatics
BACKGROUND: High-risk emergency department (ED) revisit is considered an important quality indicator that may reflect an increase in complications and medical burden. However, because of its multidimensional and highly complex nature, this factor has...

Explainable geospatial-artificial intelligence models for the estimation of PM concentration variation during commuting rush hours in Taiwan.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
PM concentrations are higher during rush hours at background stations compared to the average concentration across these stations. Few studies have investigated PM concentration and its spatial distribution during rush hours using machine learning mo...

Combining Artificial Intelligence and Simplified Image Processing for the Automatic Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Acid-fast Stain : A Cross-institute Training and Validation Study.

The American journal of surgical pathology
Tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant health threat in Taiwan, necessitating efficient detection methods. Traditional screening for acid-fast positive bacilli in acid-fast stain is time-consuming and prone to human error due to staining artifacts. To...

Comparative analysis of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.0 in Taiwan's medical technologist certification: A study in artificial intelligence advancements.

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA
BACKGROUND: This study examines the comparative effectiveness of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.0, in the certification of medical technologists (MT) in Taiwan, exploring their adeptness in processing complex medical language and their contributory role in the ed...

Fatty liver classification via risk controlled neural networks trained on grouped ultrasound image data.

Scientific reports
Ultrasound imaging is a widely used technique for fatty liver diagnosis as it is practically affordable and can be quickly deployed by using suitable devices. When it is applied to a patient, multiple images of the targeted tissues are produced. We p...
