BACKGROUND: The study compared the predictive outcomes of artificial neural network, support vector machine and random forest on the occurrence of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity.
Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide, and is an epidemic in many developing nations. Countries where the disease is common also tend to have poor access to medical care, including diagnostic tests. Recent advance...

Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Only 5-15% of people infected with develop active TB disease (ATB), while others remain latently infected (LTBI) during their lifetime, which has a completely different clinica...
BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is challenging. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning algorithms have started being used to an increasing extent in disease diagnosis due to the hig...
INTRODUCTION: Poor road and communication infrastructure pose major challenges to tuberculosis (TB) control in many regions of the world. TB surveillance and patient support often fall to community health workers (CHWs) who may lack the time or knowl...
Automated diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) from chest X-Rays (CXR) has been tackled with either hand-crafted algorithms or machine learning approaches such as support vector machines (SVMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Most deep neural net...
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that causes ill health and death in millions of people each year worldwide. Timely diagnosis and treatment is key to full patient recovery. The Microscopic Observed Drug Susceptibility (MODS) is a test to diagnos...
