Background: Despite endovascular coiling as a valid modality in treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), there is a risk of poor prognosis. However, the clinical utility of previously proposed early prediction tools remains limited. We aimed to develop a clinically generalizable machine learning (ML) models for accurately predicting unfavorable outcomes in aSAH patients after endovascular coiling.

Background: The hypoxemia risk in adult (18-64) patients treated with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) under sedation often poses a dilemma for anesthesiologists. We aimed to establish an artificial neural network (ANN) model to solve this problem, and introduce the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) algorithm to further improve the interpretability.

Methods: The relevant data of patients underwent routine anesthesia-assisted EGD were collected.

Background: Hypoxemia often occurs in outpatients undergoing anesthesia-assisted esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). However, there is a scarcity in tools to predict the hypoxemia risk. We aimed to solve this problem by developing and validating machine learning (ML) models based on preoperative and intraoperative features.

Treatment for mild stroke remains an open question. We aim to develop a decision support tool based on machine learning (ML) algorithms, called DAMS (Disability After Mild Stroke), to identify mild stroke patients who would be at high risk of post-stroke disability (PSD) if they only received medical therapy and, more importantly, to aid neurologists in making individual clinical decisions in emergency contexts. Ischemic stroke patients were prospectively recorded in the National Advanced Stroke Center of Nanjing First Hospital (China) between July 2016 and September 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are a significant health issue, and while endovascular treatment (EVT) is a common management strategy, there's a notable risk of recurrence leading to serious complications.
  • The study aimed to create and evaluate machine learning (ML) models to predict the recurrence risk of IAs within 6 months after EVT, utilizing data from patients treated at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from 2016 to 2019.
  • Among five developed ML models, the gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) model outperformed the others, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.842, indicating it can effectively predict the risk of recurrence in this patient population.
