BACKGROUND: Urine cultures are frequently ordered tests with a low positivity rate. Development of a machine learning model to predict urine culture outcomes could not only reduce unnecessary urine cultures but also prevent preliminary antibiotic tre...
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections encountered in healthcare settings. Current diagnostic practices often require 24-48 h due to the time needed for culture results. Given that 70%-80% of cultures return ...
Patients after holmium laser lithotripsy have a certain probability of getting postoperative infection. An early and accurate diagnosis of postoperative infection allows a timely administration of appropriate antibiotic treatment. However, doctors ca...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence and machine learning are the new frontier in urology; they can assist the diagnostic work-up and in prognostication bring superior to the existing nomograms. Infectious events and in particular the septic risk, a...

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the association of serum heparin-binding protein (HBP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with urosepsis following flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and to construct a back propagation neural network prediction model.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are highly prevalent bacterial infections that pose significant health risks. Specific probiotic strains have been recommended for UTI control and management of antibiotic resistance. Otherwise, para-probiotics, define...
