Abstract Objectives To assess fairness and bias of a previously validated machine learning opioid misuse classifier. Materials & Methods Two experiments were conducted with the classifier’s original (n = 1000) external validation 53 974) datasets from 2 health systems. Bias was assessed via testing for differences in type II error rates across racial/ethnic subgroups (Black, Hispanic/Latinx, White, Other) using bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. A local surrogate model estimated to...
Abstract Background Opioid misuse screening in hospitals is resource-intensive and rarely done. Many hospitalized patients are never offered opioid treatment. An automated approach leveraging routinely captured electronic health record (EHR) data may be easier for to institute. We previously derived internally validated an classifier a separate hospital setting. The aim externally validate our published open-source machine-learning at different identifying cases of misuse. Methods...
Background Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) is known to disrupt pulmonary immune mechanisms and increase the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with pneumonia; however, little about effects UAU on outcomes COVID-19 pneumonia. To our knowledge, this first observational cross-sectional study that aims understand effect severity COVID-19. Objective We aim determine if associated more severe clinical presentation worse health related socioeconomic status, smoking, age, BMI,...
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) in unmanned aerial vehicles can be an advantageous proposition during dangerous missions where aggressive maneuvers are paramount. This paper proposes to achieve it for a quadcopter using differential flatness-based linear quadratic regulator while utilizing sensor measurements of inertial measurement unit and light detection ranging considering sensors’ constraints, such as limited sensing range field view. Additionally, strategy reduce the...
Abstract Background and Aims Accurate case discovery is critical for disease surveillance, resource allocation research. International Classification of Disease (ICD) diagnosis codes are commonly used this purpose. We aimed to determine the sensitivity, specificity positive predictive value (PPV) ICD‐10 opioid misuse in emergency department (ED) setting. Design Setting Retrospective cohort study ED encounters from January 2018 December 2020 at an urban academic hospital United States. A...
Abstract This study investigates the integration of Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) to enhance comfort human occupants in electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Our encompasses not only development a dynamic model for eVTOL by integrating CMGs but also implementation backstepping sliding mode-based controllers translation attitude control. To simulate realistic disturbance scenarios, wind models motor dynamics are considered replicate practical rotor responses. validate...
Abstract The prevalence of liver disease is rising and more patients with are considered for surgery each year. Liver poses many potential complications to surgery; therefore, assessing perioperative risk optimizing a patient’s health necessary decrease risk. Multiple scoring tools exist help quantify can be used in combination best educate prior surgery. In this review, we go over the various provide guide clinicians assess optimize based on etiology disease.
Fatty infiltration of the pancreas has been shown to be associated with both precancerous pancreatic lesions and ductal adenocarcinoma. We aim determine predictors fatty in United States adults.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated health inequities in the United States. People with unhealthy opioid use (UOU) may face disproportionate challenges precautions, and disrupted access to opioids UOU treatments. impairs immunological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, neurological systems increase severity of outcomes for COVID-19.
Following second heart transplantation (HTx), some patients experience graft failure and require third-time transplantation. Little data exist to guide decision-making with regard repeat retransplantation in older patients.We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of receiving third HTx, as identified the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database from 1985 2017.The study consisted N = 60 patients, an average age 29 standard deviation ±18 years. Overall survival at 1, 5, 10 years is...
This study investigates the ability of a quadcopter equipped with two Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) to maneuver in real-life wind conditions. The objective is develop mathematical model and assess performance CMG controller compared without CMGs presence disturbances. incorporates disturbance based on realistic patterns motor dynamics simulate rotor response. To control quadcopter's position attitude, backstepping sliding mode utilized. results demonstrate that outperforms CMG-less...
