Previous studies have shown promising results of machine learning (ML) models for predicting health outcomes. We develop and test ML models for predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in hospitalized patients. This is a retrospective coho...
BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways are beneficial in proctocolectomy, but their impact on robotic low rectal proctectomy is not fully investigated. This study assessed the impact of an ERAS pathway on the outcomes and cost of...

BACKGROUND: Efforts to reduce cesarean delivery rates to 12-15% have been undertaken worldwide. Special focus has been directed towards parturients who undergo a trial of labor after cesarean delivery to reduce the burden of repeated cesarean deliver...
In general, chest radiographs (CXR) have high sensitivity and moderate specificity for active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) screening when interpreted by human readers. However, they are challenging to scale due to hardware costs and the dearth of pro...
Clinical & experimental ophthalmology

Oct 31, 2019
INTRODUCTION: The spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is difficult to control especially in the hospitals due to the successful mobilization and evolution of the genetic elements harboring the resistant determinants. The stu...
BACKGROUND: Current modes of identifying alcohol misuse in hospitalized patients rely on self-report questionnaires and diagnostic codes that have limitations, including low sensitivity. Information in the clinical notes of the electronic health reco...

Apr 4, 2019
INTRODUCTION: Open Simple Enucleation (OSE) has been demonstrated to be an oncologically safe alternative to standard partial nephrectomy. We assessed the mid-term oncologic outcomes and predictors of disease recurrence in patients treated with Endos...
Infection control and hospital epidemiology
Nov 6, 2017
BACKGROUND Reported per-patient costs of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) vary by 2 orders of magnitude among different hospitals, implying that infection control officers need precise, local analyses to guide rational decision making between in...
