Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming vital in laboratory medicine the broader context of healthcare. In this review article, we summarized development ML models how they contribute to clinical workflow improve patient outcomes. The process model involves data collection, cleansing, feature engineering, development, optimization. These models, once finalized, subjected thorough performance assessments validations. Recently, due complexity inherent automated tools were also introduced streamline process, enabling non-experts create models. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) use techniques on large datasets aid healthcare professionals test result interpretation. They revolutionizing medicine, labs work more efficiently with less human supervision across pre-analytical, analytical, post-analytical phases. Despite contributions at all analytical phases, their integration presents challenges like potential uncertainties, black-box algorithms, deskilling professionals. Additionally, acquiring diverse is hard, models’ can limit use. conclusion, ML-based CDSS greatly enhance decision-making. However, successful adoption demands collaboration among stakeholders, utilizing hybrid intelligence, external validation, assessments.

Decision trees are efficient and reliable decision-making algorithms, medicine has reached its peak of interest in these methods during the current pandemic. Herein, we reported several decision tree algorithms for a rapid discrimination between coronavirus disease (COVID-19) respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection infants.A cross-sectional study was conducted on 77 infants: 33 infants with novel betacoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) 44 RSV infection. In total, 23 hemogram-based instances were used to construct models via 10-fold cross-validation method.The Random forest model showed highest accuracy (81.8%), while terms sensitivity (72.7%), specificity (88.6%), positive predictive value (82.8%), negative (81.3%), optimized most superior one.Random might have significant clinical applications, helping speed up when SARS-CoV-2 suspected, prior molecular genome sequencing and/or antigen testing.

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection may cause a wide spectrum of symptoms, from asymptomatic, to mild respiratory symptoms and life-threatening sepsis. Among the clinical laboratory biomarkers analyzed during COVID-19 pandemic, platelet indices have raised great interest, due critical involvement platelets in COVID-19-related thromboinflammation. Through an electronic literature search on MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, Web Science, preprint servers we performed updated systematic review aimed at providing detailed analysis studies addressing potential utility distribution width, width (PDW), medicine, exploring possible association between increased PDW levels, disease severity, mortality COVID-19. Our revealed heterogeneity cohorts examined lack homogenous expression indices. We found that 75 % reported significantly elevated values infected compared healthy/non-COVID-19 controls, 40 patients with severe showed than those less-than-severe illness. Interestingly, 71.4 demonstrated significant non survivors vs. survivors. Overall, these results suggest are critically involved as major players process immunothrombosis COVID-19, reactivity morphofunctional alterations mirrored by PDW, indicator heterogeneity. confirm use prognostic sepsis still remains debated limited number draw conclusion, but new opportunities investigate crucial role thrombo-inflammation warranted.

In order to limit the spread of novel betacoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), it is necessary detect positive cases as soon possible and isolate them. For this purpose, machine-learning algorithms, a field artificial intelligence, have been recognized promising tool. The aim study was assess utility most common algorithms in rapid triage children with suspected COVID-19 using easily accessible inexpensive laboratory parameters. A cross-sectional conducted on 566 treated for respiratory diseases: 280 PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection 286 symptoms who were PCR-negative (control group). Six based blood data, tested: random forest, support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis, neural network, k-nearest neighbors, decision tree. training set validated through stratified cross-validation, while performance each algorithm confirmed by an independent test set. Random forest machine models demonstrated highest accuracy 85% 82.1%, respectively. better sensitivity than specificity negative predictive value value. F1 score higher model, 85.2% 82.3%, This might significant clinical applications, helping healthcare providers identify early stage, prior PCR and/or antigen testing.

Materials Methods: The retrospective included 523 patients seen endocrinology outpatient clinic our hospital January December 2019. Their demographic clinical characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. normal distribution quantitative data was assessed by Shapiro–Wilk test. Mann–Whitney U, McNemar–Chi-square, Cochran’s Q tests used analyze SII values complication rates over time. An ROC analysis determined sensitivity specificity SII. A multiple linear regression examined variables SII, while Spearman’s test correlation CRP p < 0.05 accepted as significant. Results: mean age 63.5 ± 9.3 years, with 821.4 1010.8. Higher significantly associated acute–chronic renal failure, peripheral arterial disease, hospitalization both (p for all).

Background: Internationally established guidelines mention pharmacological prophylaxis for all hospitalized COVID-19 patients. However, there are concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of anticoagulants. This study investigated associations between thrombosis/bleeding risk scores clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review adult patients admitted to two hospitals 2021 2022. analyzed data, laboratory results, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) use, thrombosis, bleeding, 30-day survival. Results: Of 160 patients, 69.4% were female, median age was 59 years. The rates thrombotic complications mortality 12.5% 36.3%, respectively. LMWH administered 73 (45.6%). with high Padua prediction (PPS) IMPROVEVTE had significantly higher venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared those (30.8% vs. 9.0%, p = 0.006 25.6% 7.7%, 0.006). Similarly, elevated IMPROVEBRS associated increased (hazard ratios 7.49 6.27, respectively; < 0.001). Interestingly, use not decreased incidence VTE when stratified by groups. Conclusions: this suggests that thrombosis bleeding have rate.
