Expert interviews can provide interesting data for the use in qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to investigate complex social phenomena. To guide the challenging task of data calibration from qualitative data sets, techniques have already been suggested for the transformation of qualitative data into fuzzy sets. The current article follows existing guidelines and extends them with a system for indicator-based data calibration of expert interviews. While the underlying data set is confidential due to its corporate setting, in this article the analysis of the data is made transparent and hence reproducible for potential follow-up studies. First, the process of data collection is described, and the final data sample is characterized. Consequently, a system for indicator-based data calibration is presented and the calibration results for the empirical sample are provided in form of the set membership of cases and truth tables. • Data collection from expert interviews is described for a configurational setting • A combined indicator-based system is used for the calibration of qualitative data.

Development and Validation of a Routine Electronic Health Record-Based Delirium Prediction Model for Surgical Patients Without Dementia: Retrospective Case-Control Study.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication after major surgery and is associated with poor outcomes in older adults. Early identification of patients at high risk of POD can enable targeted prevention efforts. However, existing POD prediction models require inpatient data collected during the hospital stay, which delays predictions and limits scalability.

Objectives: To develop and validate the performance of CT-based radiomics models for predicting the prognosis of acute pancreatitis.
Methods: All 344 patients (51 ± 15 years, 171 men) in a first episode of acute pancreatitis (AP) were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into training (n = 206), validation (n = 69), and test (n = 69) sets with the ratio of 6:2:2. The patients were dichotomized into good and poor prognosis subgroups based on follow-up CT and clinical data.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Clinical Teaching Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, 98 Nantong West Road, Yangzhou, 225001, Jiangsu, China.
Background: The treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) is contingent upon the status of lymph node metastasis (LNM). Accurate preoperative prediction of LNM is critical for reducing unnecessary surgeries. This study seeks to evaluate the risk factors for LNM in submucosal EGC and develop a predictive model to optimize therapeutic decision-making.

Background: Hypertension is widely prevalent and independently increases the risk of dementia. Advances in high-throughput plasma proteomics analyzed may offer new opportunities to improve risk stratification for these patients.
Method: This study involved a proteomic analysis of plasma samples collected during the baseline recruitment of participants in the UK Biobank.

Background: Differences in amyloid PET radiotracer pharmacokinetics and binding properties lead to discrepancies in amyloid uptake measurements, which may adversely affect the statistical power of clinical trials that utilize multiple tracers to track brain amyloid deposition. To address this, Centiloid was developed for standardizing global amyloid SUVRs across tracers to a common scale. Alternatively, ComBat is a technique for harmonizing batch effects while preserving variations from biologically-relevant covariates.
