Proper assessment of disabilities is essential for rehabilitation patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The aim this study was to identify and quantify the in children dystrophy correlate them impairment. Thirty-one age four years above were studied. motor functions evaluated using total score, upper lower extremity function grades timed tests. Disability quantified Barthel index. mean scores scales were: score -52 +/- 7.8, functional grade -4.4 1.9 -12.5 5.8. index ranged from 45-95 a...

Abstract Background/Introduction Predicting incident heart failure has been challenging. Deep learning models when applied to rich electronic health records (EHR) offer some theoretical advantages. However, empirical evidence for their superior performance is limited and they remain commonly uninterpretable, hampering wider use in medical practice. Purpose We developed a deep framework more accurate yet interpretable prediction of failure. Methods used longitudinally linked EHR from...

Quality improvement (QI) is an integral part of providing high-quality patient care. Any discussion about affordable healthcare cannot be complete without affirmation to QI which needs a key priority. The resources in any health care setting including NHS are finite. In changing medical landscape; while dealing with increasing population; complex co-morbidities; aging population and expectations, it vital that we strive continually use improve our services.

Abstract Background Forecasting incident heart failure is a critical demand for prevention. Recent research suggested the superior performance of deep learning models on prediction tasks using electronic health records. However, even with relatively accurate predictive performance, major impediments to wider use clinical decision making are difficulties assigning level confidence model predictions and interpretability predictions. Purpose We aimed develop framework more prediction, provision...
