Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on using explainable AI to predict safe balance in stroke patients by analyzing hospital data related to clinical and neurophysiological aspects.
  • It involved examining data from 92 first-time stroke patients over a period of about seven years, using the Berg Balance Scale to assess their mobility after three and six months.
  • The random forest model outperformed or matched logistic regression in predicting mobility, highlighting key predictors that include early balance scores, muscle strength, and neuroimaging metrics.

With advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) has been widely applied to predict functional outcomes in clinical medicine. However, there has been no attempt to predict walking ability after spinal cord injury (SCI) based on ML. In this situation, the main purpose of this study was to predict gait recovery after SCI at discharge from an acute rehabilitation facility using various ML algorithms.

  • A study aimed to explore the link between breastfeeding duration and the risk of developing diabetes mellitus (DM) in postmenopausal women using a large national database from South Korea, analyzing data from nearly 16,000 participants.
  • Results showed that women who breastfed for less than 12 months had the lowest prevalence of DM and lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels compared to those who did not breastfeed or breastfed for longer.
  • Machine learning models developed for predicting DM demonstrated high accuracy, indicating a strong association between breastfeeding duration and diabetes risk.

Predicting gait recovery after a spinal cord injury (SCI) during an acute rehabilitation phase is important for planning rehabilitation strategies. However, few studies have been conducted on this topic to date. In this study, we developed a deep learning-based prediction model for gait recovery after SCI upon discharge from an acute rehabilitation facility.

: Soft tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of malignant mesenchymal tissues. Despite their low prevalence, soft tissue sarcomas present clinical challenges for orthopedic surgeons owing to their aggressive nature, and perioperative wound infections. However, the low prevalence of soft tissue sarcomas has hindered the availability of large-scale studies.

This cross-sectional study aimed to develop and validate population-based machine learning models for examining the association between breastfeeding and metabolic syndrome in women. The artificial neural network, the decision tree, logistic regression, the Naïve Bayes, the random forest and the support vector machine were developed and validated to predict metabolic syndrome in women. Data came from 30,204 women, who aged 20 years or more and participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2010-2019.

This study employs machine learning analysis with population data for the associations of preterm birth (PTB) with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and gastrointestinal diseases. The source of the population-based retrospective cohort was Korea National Health Insurance claims for 489,893 primiparous women with delivery at the age of 25-40 in 2017. The dependent variable was PTB in 2017.

Although preterm birth (PTB), a birth before 34 weeks of gestation accounts for only less than 3% of total births, it is a critical cause of various perinatal morbidity and mortality. Several studies have been conducted on the association between maternal exposure to PM and PTB, but the results were inconsistent. Moreover, no study has analyzed the risk of PM on PTB among women with cardiovascular diseases, even though those were thought to be highly susceptible to PM considering the cardiovascular effect of PM.
