Abstract The majority of early prediction scores and methods to predict COVID-19 mortality are bound by methodological flaws technological limitations (e.g., the use a single model). Our aim is provide thorough comparative study that tackles those issues, considering multiple techniques build models, including modern machine learning (neural) algorithms traditional statistical techniques, as well meta-learning (ensemble) approaches. This used dataset from multicenter cohort 10,897 adult...
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at increased risk for cardiovascular complications. Exercise testing is used as a prognostic marker in variety of diseases. However, there lack evidence on exercise SCD patients, particularly regarding its safety, feasibility, and possible role.We the maximal treadmill test to determine safety feasibility patients. Additionally, factors associated duration, well impact exercise-induced changes clinical outcome, were also assessed.One-hundred...

Introduction Informed healthcare policies in Brazil rely on robust health technology assessment (HTA), especially for conditions like non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We present an efficiency frontier analysis to evaluate NSCLC treatments that correlates annual treatment costs with clinical outcomes, offering a systematic approach enhance decision-making the Brazilian context. Methods This quantitative study analyzed drug within system and efficacy data of pivotal studies. The were using...
Introduction Brazil’s public health system serves most of the population, but 25 percent citizens rely on private insurance. The National Regulatory Agency for Private Health Insurance and Plans (ANS) regulates medicine reimbursements, which diverge from sector threshold. In 2022, Committee Technology Incorporation (CONITEC) set a willingness-to-pay benchmark BRL40,000 (USD8,215) per quality-adjusted life-year. ANS has no such benchmark, highlighting pivotal gap in economic evaluations care....
