This study develops and validates an interpretable, parsimonious machine learning model using early ICU data to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with cirrhosis and sepsis, demonstrating its effectiveness and transportability across both MIMIC-IV and Chinese cohorts.
This prospective comparative study of 50 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients found that while video raster stereography (VRS) correlates significantly with EOS imaging and shows potential for radiation-free monitoring, systematic differences between the two methods prevent VRS from currently replacing EOS for diagnosis or direct clinical interchangeability.
This study analyzes presentation data from four WOFAPS World Congresses (2016–2025) to reveal that pediatric surgery topics are dominated by emergency conditions, common procedures, and congenital anomalies, providing insights to guide future training and research priorities.
This cross-sectional study of 200 hemodialysis patients reveals that treatment adherence is significantly predicted by higher perceived social support, lower depression levels, older age, and female gender, while self-efficacy showed no significant association.
This national multicenter study reveals that the interaction between vitamin A deficiency and elevated serotonin levels exhibits significant sexual dimorphism, specifically modulating core symptoms and neurodevelopmental outcomes in boys with autism spectrum disorder but not in girls.
This cross-sectional study involving 142 Thai individuals with chronic spinal cord injury determined that a body mass index (BMI) cutoff of 22 kg/m² is an effective screening tool for diagnosing obesity, as it correlates significantly with cardiovascular risk and aligns with optimal body fat percentage thresholds.
This prospective six-month study demonstrates that bariatric surgery induces a significant, early reduction in hepatic steatosis, as quantified by the ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP), which parallels weight loss despite showing no significant correlation with BMI reduction at the individual patient level.
This study establishes a robust four-gene copper metabolism-related signature that effectively stratifies breast cancer prognosis, predicts immunotherapy and chemotherapy responses, and identifies EVA1B as a potential causal therapeutic target through comprehensive multi-omics analysis and causal inference.
This retrospective study of 1,224 ICU patients demonstrates that deteriorating SOFA score trajectories within the first week of admission are significantly associated with higher mortality rates and shorter survival compared to improving or stable trajectories, establishing these dynamic patterns as strong independent predictors of long-term outcomes.
In a 7-year longitudinal study of Zambian people living with HIV, baseline age of 50 years or older was found to be independently associated with a significantly steeper rate of arterial stiffening compared to younger patients, highlighting the need for early cardiovascular screening and management of blood pressure and BMI in routine HIV care.
