September 2024
Background: In computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) studies utilizing multireader multicase (MRMC) designs, missing data might occur when there are instances of misinterpretation or oversight by the reader or problems with measurement techniques. Improper handling of these missing data can lead to bias. However, little research has been conducted on addressing the missing data issue within the MRMC framework.

- The study investigates the link between epilepsy and the increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), revealing a growing prevalence of AMI in epilepsy patients over a decade.
- A large sample of over 8 million inpatients was analyzed, finding a significant rise in AMI diagnoses among epilepsy patients, from approximately 1,912 to 2,530 per 100,000 hospitalizations between 2008 and 2017.
- Factors contributing to higher AMI risk in epilepsy patients included older age, atherosclerosis, conduction disorders, cardiomyopathy, and other health issues, with patients having AMI experiencing notably higher inpatient mortality.
Purpose: Although the adverse effects of atrial fibrillation (AF) on cancers have been well reported, the relationship between the AF and the adverse outcomes in prostate cancer (PC) remains inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of AF and evaluate the relationship between AF and clinical outcomes in PC patients.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with PC between 2008 and 2017 were identified from the National Inpatient Sample database.
