Effect of Clinical History on Predictive Model Performance for Renal Complications of Diabetes [PDF]

arXiv
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterised by a high risk of developing diabetic nephropathy, which, in turn, is the leading cause of end-stage chronic kidney disease. The early identification of individuals at heightened risk of such complications or their exacerbation can be of paramount importance to set a correct course of treatment.

Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...

Impact of Coronary Calcification on Complete Revascularization in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Multivessel Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary calcification is a well‐known marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden and a determinant of stent under expansion with unfavorable long‐term outcomes. Aims This sub study of the randomized BIOVASC trial aimed to compare immediate complete revascularization (ICR) and staged complete revascularization (SCR) in patients with ...

Deep Learning-Based Quantitative Assessment of Renal Chronicity Indices in Lupus Nephritis [PDF]

arXiv
Background: Renal chronicity indices (CI) have been identified as strong predictors of long-term outcomes in lupus nephritis (LN) patients. However, assessment by pathologists is hindered by challenges such as substantial time requirements, high interobserver variation, and susceptibility to fatigue.

Integrated Machine Learning and Survival Analysis Modeling for Enhanced Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Stratification [PDF]

arXiv
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health challenge, often progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if not detected and managed early. Early intervention, warranted by silent disease progression, can significantly reduce associated morbidity, mortality, and financial burden.
