Abstract Background COVID-19 survivors may develop long-term symptoms of fatigue, dyspnea, mental health issues, and functional limitations: a condition termed post-acute sequelae (PASC). Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is recommended treatment for PASC; however, there lack data regarding PR’s effect on multiple indices the factors that influence patient outcomes. The aim our study to evaluate impact pulmonary psychological parameters in patients diagnosed with Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC), thereby offering insights into efficacy such interventions improving quality life clinical outcomes these individuals. Methods We extracted demographic, comorbidity, outcome from Allegheny Health Network’s electronic medical records. Functionality test results were compared before after PR, including 6-minute walk (6MWT), chair rise repetitions (CR reps), timed up go (TUG), gait speed (Rehab gait), modified research council scale (MMRC), shortness breath questionnaire (SOBQ), hospital anxiety depression (HADS) chronic obstructive disease assessment (CAT) scores.

Abstract In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to improve anomaly detection techniques, particularly in the context of high‐dimensional, distributed clinical data. Analysing patient data within settings reveals pronounced focus on refining diagnostic accuracy, personalising treatment plans, and optimising resource allocation enhance outcomes. Nonetheless, this domain faces unique challenges, such as irregular collection, inconsistent quality, patient‐specific structural variations. This paper proposed novel hybrid approach that integrates heuristic stochastic methods for address these challenges. The strategy combines HPO‐based optimal Density‐Based Spatial Clustering Applications with Noise clustering exercise data, facilitating efficient identification. Subsequently, method based Interquartile Range filters unreliable points, ensuring medical tools professionals receive only most pertinent accurate information. primary objective study is equip healthcare researchers robust tool managing extensive, high‐dimensional datasets, enabling effective isolation removal aberrant points. Furthermore, sophisticated regression model developed using Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) assess impact ensemble abnormal pattern approach. Various statistical error estimation techniques validate efficacy alongside AutoML. Experimental results show implementing innovative rehabilitation leads notable enhancement AutoML performance, an average improvement 0.041 score, surpassing effectiveness traditional models.
