Deep Generative Survival Analysis: Nonparametric Estimation of Conditional Survival Function [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
We propose a deep generative approach to nonparametric estimation of conditional survival and hazard functions with right-censored data. The key idea of the proposed method is to first learn a conditional generator for the joint conditional distribution of the observed time and censoring indicator given the covariates, and then construct the Kaplan ...

Incidence of biliary atresia in the United States before and during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The etiology of biliary atresia (BA) is unclear and potentially involves viral triggers. We aimed to compare the incidence of BA in the United States before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, focusing on potential associations with viral circulation disruptions caused by nonpharmaceutical interventions ...

European Consensus on Malabsorption—UEG & SIGE, LGA, SPG, SRGH, CGS, ESPCG, EAGEN, ESPEN, and ESPGHAN

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malabsorption is a complex and multifaceted condition characterised by the defective passage of nutrients into the blood and lymphatic streams. Several congenital or acquired disorders may cause either selective or global malabsorption in both children and adults, such as cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), coeliac ...

A Spatially Discrete Approximation to Log-Gaussian Cox Processes for Modelling Aggregated Disease Count Data [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper, we develop a computationally efficient discrete approximation to log-Gaussian Cox process (LGCP) models for the analysis of spatially aggregated disease count data. Our approach overcomes an inherent limitation of spatial models based on Markov structures, namely that each such model is tied to a specific partition of the study area, and

Clinical decision instruments for predicting mortality in patients with cirrhosis seeking emergency department care

Academic Emergency Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Clinical decision instruments (CDIs) could be useful to aid risk stratification and disposition of emergency department (ED) patients with cirrhosis. Our primary objective was to derive and internally validate a novel Cirrhosis Risk Instrument for Stratifying Post‐Emergency department mortality (CRISPE) for the outcomes of 14‐ and 30‐

A Predictive Model of Pressure Injury in Children Undergoing Living Donor Liver Transplantation Based on Machine Learning Algorithm

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims The aim of our study was to formulate and validate a prediction model using machine learning algorithms to forecast the risk of pressure injuries (PIs) in children undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Design A retrospective cohort study.
