Background: Differentiating whether hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) lesions exhibit biological activity is essential for developing effective treatment plans. This study evaluates the performance of a Transformer-based fusion model in assessing HCE lesion activity.
Methods: This study analyzed CT images and clinical variables from 700 HCE patients across three hospitals from 2018 to 2023.
Objective: This study developed and validated a stacked ensemble machine learning model to predict the risk of acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis complicated by sepsis.
Design: A retrospective study based on patient data from public databases.
Participants: This study analysed 1295 patients with acute pancreatitis complicated by septicaemia from the US Intensive Care Database.
