DPVis: Visual Analytics with Hidden Markov Models for Disease Progression Pathways [PDF]

, 2019
Clinical researchers use disease progression models to understand patient status and characterize progression patterns from longitudinal health records. One approach for disease progression modeling is to describe patient status using a small number of states that represent distinctive distributions over a set of observed measures.

Transfer learning for multi-center classification of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease which can be quantified using chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Recent studies have shown that COPD can be automatically diagnosed using weakly supervised learning of intensity and texture distributions.

Length-of-stay times in hospital for COVID-19 patients using the smoothed Beran's estimator with bootstrap bandwidth selection [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The survival function of length-of-stay in hospital ward and ICU for COVID-19 patients is studied in this paper. Flexible statistical methods are used to estimate this survival function given relevant covariates such as age, sex, obesity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Association of Surfactant-Associated Protein D Gene Polymorphisms with the Risk of COPD: a Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2019
The relationship between surfactant-associated protein D polymorphisms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk remains controversial. This article is the first to systematically evaluate this relationship.

Machine learning for nocturnal diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using digital oximetry biomarkers [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent chronic condition. COPD is a major source of morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Spirometry is the gold standard test for a definitive diagnosis and severity grading of COPD. However, a large proportion of individuals with COPD are undiagnosed and untreated.

Oxygen supplementation facilitating successful prosthetic fitting and rehabilitation of a patient with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease following trans-tibial amputation: a case report [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction Dysvascular amputations are increasingly performed in patients with underlying cardiac and pulmonary disorders. A limb prosthesis is rarely offered to patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease because of their inability to ...
