Machine-learning prediction of unplanned 30-day rehospitalization using the French hospital medico-administrative database.

Medicine
Predicting unplanned rehospitalizations has traditionally employed logistic regression models. Machine learning (ML) methods have been introduced in health service research and may improve the prediction of health outcomes. The objective of this work...

Predicting Future Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease Using Electronic Health Record Data.

Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes
BACKGROUND: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. There are no readily available risk scores that can accurately identify which patients are most likely to sustain an event, mak...

Implementation of Enterprise Imaging Strategy at a Chinese Tertiary Hospital.

Journal of digital imaging
Medical images have become increasingly important in clinical practice and medical research, and the need to manage images at the hospital level has become urgent in China. To unify patient identification in examinations from different medical specia...

Pattern and predictors of urine protein excretion among patients with type 2 diabetes attending a single tertiary hospital in Lagos, Nigeria.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Testing for proteinuria is used to screen for diabetic nephropathy. However, significant proportion of diabetics has normal urine protein excretion despite impaired renal function. We aimed to determine the factors predicting increased urine protein ...

Incidence of prostate cancer at a single tertiary care center in North Karnataka.

Indian journal of cancer
CONTEXT: Prostate cancer (PC) remains one of the most common cancers affecting men today. Thus, understanding the prevalence, disease characteristics, and changing demographics of Indian PC patients has emerged as an important aspect of study.

Minimally invasive kidney transplantation: perioperative considerations and key 6-month outcomes.

Transplantation
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to kidney transplantation (KT) have been described recently. However, information concerning perioperative management in these patients is lacking. Accordingly, in the current study, we describe our periopera...
