Statistical methods for characterizing transfusion-related changes in regional oxygenation using Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in preterm infants [PDF]
, 2018 Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an imaging-based diagnostic tool that provides non-invasive and continuous evaluation of regional tissue oxygenation in real-time. In recent years, NIRS has show promise as a useful monitoring technology to help detect relative tissue ischemia that could lead to significant morbidity and mortality in preterm infants.

Demand Forecasting for Platelet Usage: from Univariate Time Series to Multivariate Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Platelet products are both expensive and have very short shelf lives. As usage rates for platelets are highly variable, the effective management of platelet demand and supply is very important yet challenging. The primary goal of this paper is to present an efficient forecasting model for platelet demand at Canadian Blood Services (CBS).
