Angélica Valentina Osorio Oliveros · Johana Alexandra Velasco Jaramillo · Harley Alejo-Martínez · Juan Sebastian Trujillo · y 1 más

To implement a continuous improvement cycle aimed at identifying and reducing radiation exposure incidents in patients undergoing PET-CT scans.A comparative quasi-experimental study was conducted within a nuclear medicine department, analyzing two separate periods: October-December 2022 (n = 604 patients) "before" grou...

Machine learning predicts postoperative mortality in a Latin American cardiovascular surgery multicenter cohort: Toward precision risk stratification

W. Samir Cubas · Joaquín Gundelach · Lorena Montes · Maximiliano Hernández · y 6 más

A total of 28% of global cardiac surgeries are performed in Latin America; however, surgeons there are faced with many preventable deaths, partly as the result of the lack of accurate, region-specific risk assessment tools. We developed an explainable machine learning (ML) model tailored to a multicenter Latin American...

Infectious complications of burns in the intensive care unit

Alain, Fennessy · Laura, Slattery · Odhran, Shelley · Luis Felipe, Reyes · y 1 más

Severe burn injury is associated with profound physiological derangement and remains a major cause of infection-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Disruption of the skin barrier sustained immune dysregulation, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) exposure, and extensive use of invasive devices create a uniquely...
