BACKGROUND: The management of patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures remains a topic of debate, with conservative treatment being successful in most cases but not all. This study aimed to assess the utility of machine learning models (MLMs) in p...
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a prediction model for high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF).
In adult patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), little data exist on predicting pyeloplasty outcome, and there is no unified definition of pyeloplasty success. As such, defining pyeloplasty success retrospectively is particularly v...
