Propensity Score Weighting for Covariate Adjustment in Randomized Clinical Trials [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Chance imbalance in baseline characteristics is common in randomized clinical trials. Regression adjustment such as the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is often used to account for imbalance and increase precision of the treatment effect estimate. An objective alternative is through inverse probability weighting (IPW) of the propensity scores. Although

Semi-Automated Nasal PAP Mask Sizing using Facial Photographs [PDF]
, 2017 We present a semi-automated system for sizing nasal Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks based upon a neural network model that was trained with facial photographs of both PAP mask users and non-users. It demonstrated an accuracy of 72% in correctly sizing a mask and 96% accuracy sizing to within 1 mask size group.

Electrical impedance tomography to evaluate air distribution prior to extubation in very-low-birth-weight infants: a feasibility study [PDF]
, 2013 OBJECTIVES: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure is used as a standard of care after extubation in very-low-birth-weight infants. A pressure of 5 cmH2O is usually applied regardless of individual differences in lung compliance.
