BACKGROUND: BK virus allograft nephropathy is a major complication of kidney transplantation that markedly reduces graft survival (50% graft failure 24 months after being diagnosed). BK virus replication can occur at any time posttransplantation. Vir...
We investigated the impact of donor characteristics on outcomes in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients using a novel machine learning approach, the Nonparametric Failure Time Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (NFT BART). N...
Renal pathology is a relatively recent entry in nephrology. While diseases of the kidney are old, their study began in the 19th century with the report of Richard Bright of the lesions of end-stage kidney disease. Its easy diagnosis from albuminuria ...
BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative treatment option for malignant hematological disorders. Transplant clinicians estimate patient-specific prognosis empirically in clinical practice based on previous st...
PURPOSE: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) remains a significant complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and limits its broader application. The ability to predict grade II to IV aGVHD could potentially mitigate morb...
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is 1 of the critical complications that often occurs following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Thus far, various types of prediction scores have been created using statistical calcula...
Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative therapy for high-risk acute leukemia (AL), some patients still relapse. Since patients simultaneously have many prognostic factors, difficulties are associated with...

The prognosis management is crucial for highrisk disease like Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in order to support decisions of clinical treatment. However, the challenges of accurate and consistent forecasting lie in the high variability of the disease ...
The application of machine learning in medicine has been productive in multiple fields, but has not previously been applied to analyze the complexity of organ involvement by chronic graft--host disease. Chronic graft--host disease is classified by an...

PURPOSE: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is potentially curative for acute leukemia (AL), but carries considerable risk. Machine learning algorithms, which are part of the data mining (DM) approach, may serve for transplanta...
