Causal survival analysis under competing risks using longitudinal modified treatment policies [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Longitudinal modified treatment policies (LMTP) have been recently developed as a novel method to define and estimate causal parameters that depend on the natural value of treatment. LMTPs represent an important advancement in causal inference for longitudinal studies as they allow the non-parametric definition and estimation of the joint effect of ...

Development of Automatic Endotracheal Tube and Carina Detection on Portable Supine Chest Radiographs using Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The image quality of portable supine chest radiographs is inherently poor due to low contrast and high noise. The endotracheal intubation detection requires the locations of the endotracheal tube (ETT) tip and carina. The goal is to find the distance between the ETT tip and the carina in chest radiography.
