RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: A common approach to assessing treatment effects in nonrandomized studies with time-to-event outcomes is to estimate propensity scores and compute weights using logistic regression, test for covariate balance, and then...
BACKGROUND: Seizure prediction can increase independence and allow preventative treatment for patients with epilepsy. We present a proof-of-concept for a seizure prediction system that is accurate, fully automated, patient-specific, and tunable to an...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with infective endocarditis undergoing cardiac surgery are a high-risk population. Few data on incidence and predictors of need for high-dose inotropic support in this setting are currently available.
AIM: To describe in type 2 diabetes the 24-hour distribution of hypoglycaemia and compare the frequency of nocturnal events based on a predefined nocturnal window or an expanded interval, using illustrative data for two insulin glargine formulations.
Targeted intervention and resource allocation are essential for effective malaria control, particularly in remote areas, with predictive models providing important information for decision making. While a diversity of modeling technique have been use...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evidence indicates that Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, although findings on risk of heart failure (HF) are controversial. We investigated the relationship between serum Vitam...
Not just detecting but also predicting impairment of a car driver's operational state is a challenge. This study aims to determine whether the standard sources of information used to detect drowsiness can also be used to predict when a given drowsine...
