Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association
Aug 14, 2024
INTRODUCTION: The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and obesity rise concomitantly. This study examined whether factors affecting metabolism, race/ethnicity, and sex are associated with AD development.
BACKGROUND: Differential exposure to chronic stressors by race/ethnicity may help explain Black-White inequalities in rates of preterm birth. However, researchers have not investigated the cumulative, interactive, and population-specific nature of ch...
OBJECTIVE: Existing approaches to fairness evaluation often overlook systematic differences in the social determinants of health, like demographics and socioeconomics, among comparison groups, potentially leading to inaccurate or even contradictory c...
Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities
Apr 16, 2024
PURPOSE: This study aims to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social determinants of health (SDOH) of marginalized racial/ethnic US population groups, specifically African Americans and Asians, by leveraging natural language processin...
IMPORTANCE: Predictive models using machine learning techniques have potential to improve early detection and management of Alzheimer disease (AD). However, these models potentially have biases and may perpetuate or exacerbate existing disparities.
BACKGROUND: Family engagement is critical in the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support tools, which will play an increasing role in health care in the future. We sought to understand parental perceptions of co...
A recent analysis of common stroke risk prediction models showed that performance differs between Black and White subgroups, and that applying standard machine learning methods does not reduce these disparities. There have been calls in the clinical ...
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools could improve clinical decision making or exacerbate inequities because of bias. African American (AA) men reportedly have a worse prognosis for prostate cancer (PCa) and are underrepresented in the develop...
Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association
May 1, 2025
PURPOSE: To develop machine learning models using the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database to predict prolonged operative time (POT) for rotator cuff repair (RCR), as well as use the trained machine l...
Studies in health technology and informatics
