Low-carbohydrate diet score and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a machine learning analysis of NHANES data.

Background: Recent research has identified the Low-Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) score as a novel biomarker, with studies showing that LCDs can reduce carbon dioxide retention, potentially improving lung function. While the link between the LCD score and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been explored, its relevance in the US population remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the association between the LCD score and the likelihood of COPD prevalence in this population.

Risk of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Community-Acquired Pneumonia Patients: Use of an Artificial Neural Network Model.

This study aimed to explore the independent risk factors for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to predict and evaluate the risk of ARDS in CAP patients based on artificial neural network models (ANNs). We retrospectively analyzed eligible 989 CAP patients (632 men and 357 women) who met the criteria from the comprehensive intensive care unit (ICU) and the respiratory and critical care medicine department of Changzhou Second People's Hospital, Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, Nanjing Military Region General Hospital, and Wuxi Fifth People's Hospital between February 2018 and February 2021. The best predictors to model the ANNs were selected from 51 variables measured within 24 h after admission.

[Establishing prediction model of community-acquired pneumonia complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome based on artificial neural network].

Objective: To investigate the independent risk factors of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and the accuracy and prevention value of ARDS prediction based on artificial neural network model in CAP patients.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted. Clinical data of 414 patients with CAP who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the comprehensive intensive care unit and respiratory department of Changzhou Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from February 2020 to February 2021 were analyzed.
