Machine Learning Boosts Diagnosis of Primary Immune Dysregulation
A new study demonstrates how machine learning can assist in classifying primary immune dysregulation using IDDA2.1 phenotype profiling, potentially shortening the diagnostic journey for patients. The AI acts as a diagnostic assistant, improving the speed and accuracy of diagnoses.
Does Intrinsic Capacity Truly Predict Geriatric Outcomes?
Older inpatients often present with a constellation of geriatric syndromes, but predicting who will decline is challenging. This study suggests that assessing multiple domains of intrinsic capacity might offer some predictive value, though the effect sizes raise questions.
