Research with controlled or crossover designs in animal-assisted therapy have largely used control groups receiving no treatment or treatment as usual, which can potentially inflate the effects of these interventions. It is therefore not always clear...
Only about half of patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) respond substantially to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, there has been little evidence available to clinicians or patients about whether any individual patient is more or le...
INTRODUCTION: Timely thrombolytic therapy improves outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. Manual chart review to screen for thrombolysis contraindications may be time-consuming and prone to errors. We developed and tested a large language model (LLM)-bas...
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a well-accepted therapy for refractory chronic pain. However, predicting responders remain a challenge due to a lack of objective pain biomarkers. The present study applies machine learning to predict which patients w...
BACKGROUND: In hospitalized patients, inadequate antibiotic dosage leading to bacterial resistance and increased antimicrobial use intensity due to overexposure to antibiotics are common problems. In the present study, we constructed a machine learni...
Anti-angiogenic (AA) therapy is a cornerstone of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) treatment, but not everyone responds, and predictive biomarkers are lacking. CD31, a marker of vasculature, is insufficient, and the Angioscore, an RN...
Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, is performed to correct severe dentofacial deformities and is increasingly sought for cosmetic purposes. Accurate prediction of surgical outcomes is essential for selecting the optimal treatment plan a...
The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate automated machine learning (aML) models for predicting short-term (1-month) and medium-term (3-month) functional outcomes [Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)] in patients suffering from poor-grade aneu...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (nICT) is crucial for tailoring patient care in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aimed to develo...
BACKGROUND: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a major oral health problem among preschool children that can significantly influence children's quality of life. Machine learning can accurately predict the treatment outcome but its use in ECC management ...
